Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Cooperstown, NY.

One kind of payment assistance that some drug rehab programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain requirements for payment assistance, and will have to provide information about how many dependents they have, proof of income, what their household overhead is, and the like. Based off this information intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Cooperstown makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay this discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals 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 until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
