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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehab programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment 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 proof of income, information about how many dependents they have, what their household overhead is, etc. Based off this family and financial information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Charleston only earns $18,000/year, has 3 children 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 $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client completes rehab.
