Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Orient, ME.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help 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 client will have 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Orient earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals 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 repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
