Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Carlisle, NY.

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will need 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Carlisle makes $18,000 a 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 is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay this discounted amount. Intake administrators can help people or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
