Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Austerlitz, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some drug rehab facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower rehab costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the person will have to meet certain criteria and 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.

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

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted 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 mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual completes treatment.
