Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Waterford, ME.

One kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the client will need to satisfy certain 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 information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Waterford earns $18,000/year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Admissions staff can help people or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
