Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Jefferson, MD.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the client will have 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Jefferson earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Intake staff can help individuals 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 paid back until after the person finishes rehab.
