Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - West Townsend, MA.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual 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 administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford this discounted amount. Intake administrators can help individuals 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 paid until after the person finishes rehab.
