Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Indian Head, MD.

A kind of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the person will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Indian Head makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake administrators can help clients or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client completes rehab.
