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

One form of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Shawmut earns $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 an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay this lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes rehab.
