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

A kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 family and financial information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Cohoes only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake staff can help individuals or family who are paying for rehab 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.
