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

One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Milbridge makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
