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

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client 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 information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Shaftsbury makes $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 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 $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person finishes rehab.
