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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Clarendon only makes $18,000/year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help people or their loved ones 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 finishes rehabilitation.
