Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Newport Center, VT.

A type of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Newport Center earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser amount. Intake 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 person finishes treatment.
