Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Northfield, MA.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Northfield earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay this discounted fee. Intake administrators can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual completes rehab.
