Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Berlin, NY.

One form of payment assistance that some drug rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Berlin only earns $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake staff can help clients or family 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 person finishes rehabilitation.
