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

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are paying 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 rehab.
