Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Lake Elmore, VT.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual 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.

As an example, if a person in Lake Elmore only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual finishes treatment.
