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

A type of payment assistance that some drug treatment facilities can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by 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 information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Hartwick earns $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/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes treatment.
