Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bingham, ME.

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment programs can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain 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.

For example, if an individual in Bingham earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person finishes treatment.
