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

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the individual 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Highland Lake 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 an individual who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted fee. Intake admin can help people or their loved ones 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 back until after the client completes rehabilitation.
