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

One form of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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 intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Howard Beach only earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek further assistance to pay this lesser amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the client completes rehabilitation.
