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

A type of payment help that some drug treatment centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person 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 family and financial information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Island Park only earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted fee. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes treatment.
