Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Guilford, NY.

One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will have 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Guilford makes $18K 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 $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to afford this discounted amount. Intake administrators can help clients 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 individual completes treatment.
