Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hancock, NH.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug rehab programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Hancock only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff 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 repaid until after the individual completes treatment.
