Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hallowell, ME.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Hallowell earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford this discounted fee. 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 back until after the individual finishes treatment.
