Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Sunderland, MA.

A kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Sunderland makes $18K a year, has 3 children 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 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to afford the lesser fee. Intake admin can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehab.
