Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Long Island, KS.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug rehabilitation centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Long Island only 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 will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted amount. Admissions staff can help clients 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 repaid until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
