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

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis which can lower 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Westwood only makes $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser amount. Admissions staff can help clients or family 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 repaid until after the individual completes treatment.
