Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Riverdale, MD.

One kind of payment help that some drug rehab centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Riverdale only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 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 may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
