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

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will have 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 admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further assistance to afford the discounted fee. Admissions admin can help clients or their loved ones who are paying 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 client completes treatment.
