Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Altona, NY.

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the client will have 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Altona earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser amount. Admissions admin can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehab.
