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

One form of payment assistance that some drug 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 an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the client will need to satisfy certain 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.

As an example, if a person in Ghent 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 rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser fee. Admissions staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person completes rehabilitation.
