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

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehab programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the person will have to meet certain criteria and 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in East Nassau only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Intake administrators can help people or their loved ones 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 client completes rehabilitation.
