Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Riva, MD.

One kind of payment help that some drug rehabilitation centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Riva only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are footing the bill 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 rehabilitation.
