Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Chatham, MA.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on a case by case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have 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 admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Chatham only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake administrators can help people or their loved ones 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 repaid until after the person finishes rehab.
