Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chelsea, NY.

A kind of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. 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 information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Chelsea only makes $18,000/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 has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay the lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help individuals 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 until after the person completes rehabilitation.
