Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Colchester, VT.

A type of payment help that some drug treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help and will have to provide proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Colchester only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake administrators can help clients 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 paid back until after the person completes treatment.
