Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Burlington, ME.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the client 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help individuals 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 person completes rehab.
