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

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers can offer their clients is a sliding 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 client. How this typically works is the client 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in St. Michaels earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting 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 must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay this discounted fee. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client finishes rehab.
