Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Milton, VT.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Milton only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help people or family who are paying 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 client completes treatment.
