Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Derby Line, VT.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Derby Line only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake admin can help individuals or family 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 person finishes rehab.
