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

One kind of payment assistance that some drug rehab centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can lower rehab 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Welcome only makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted fee. 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 some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client completes treatment.
