Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bennington, VT.

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Bennington only earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes rehab.
