Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Knoxville, MD.

One kind of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 Knoxville earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Intake staff can help people or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes rehab.
