Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Oldtown, MD.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Oldtown makes $18K a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay this discounted amount. Intake staff can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client completes rehabilitation.
