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

One form of payment help that some substance abuse treatment centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, 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 what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Middleton only earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the client completes rehab.
