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

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment centers can offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case by case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will have to satisfy certain 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 someone in Chestertown makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake administrators can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment 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 completes treatment.
