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

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the client will have 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 intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help people 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 paid until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
