Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Freedom, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Freedom only makes $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 an individual who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake administrators can help people or family 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 person completes rehabilitation.
