Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Searsmont, ME.

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will have 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Searsmont makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab 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.
