Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Newcomb, MD.

One form of payment assistance that some drug treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
