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

One form of payment assistance that some drug rehab facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will need to satisfy certain 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in North Montpelier only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars 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 must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser fee. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person completes rehabilitation.
