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

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in South Windham earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay this discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes rehab.
