Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Newcastle, ME.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehab centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Newcastle only earns $18,000 a 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/year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this discounted amount. Admissions administrators can help individuals or their loved ones 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.
