Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Gouldsboro, ME.

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, 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 admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Gouldsboro only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment 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 rehabilitation.
