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

One form of payment assistance that some drug treatment programs may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Underhill Center earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake staff can help people 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 client finishes treatment.
