Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bar Harbor, ME.

A type of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehab programs can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the person will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Bar Harbor 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 much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser amount. Admissions administrators can help people 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 back until after the person finishes rehab.
