Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Marys City, MD.

A type of payment help that some drug treatment centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the client 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in St. Marys City only earns $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser amount. Admissions staff can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehabilitation.
