Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - South Boston, MA.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on an individual basis that can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will have 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in South Boston earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual 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 available, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help people or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
