Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - East Machias, ME.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug rehabilitation programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain 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 an individual in East Machias earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay this discounted 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 individual completes rehab.
