Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lakewood, NY.

One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment centers may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will need 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 information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Lakewood only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser 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 repaid until after the client completes treatment.
