Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Collins Center, NY.

A kind of payment help that some substance abuse treatment programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Collins Center 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 someone who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Intake administrators can help people or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes rehab.
