Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hamilton, NY.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular person. 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Hamilton only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the lesser fee. Admissions staff can help individuals or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehab.
