Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - North Pomfret, VT.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case by case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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 a person in North Pomfret makes $18,000/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 $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients 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 individual finishes rehab.
