Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Albans Bay, VT.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol rehab programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will need 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 admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in St. Albans Bay earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients 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 paid back until after the individual finishes rehab.
