Medicaid

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in order to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's price for treatment could be different and lower than another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
