Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mars Hill, ME.

A kind of payment help that some substance abuse treatment centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford 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 individual. This typically works like this: the individual 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Mars Hill only earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are paying 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 rehab.
