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

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser amount. Intake 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 paid back until after the client completes rehabilitation.
