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

A type of payment assistance that some drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the person will have 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.

For example, if an individual in Florida only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars 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 offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay this discounted fee. Admissions admin can help clients 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 finishes rehab.
