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

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: 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 admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Upper Falls makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted amount. Admissions administrators can help clients 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 person completes rehab.
