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

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular individual. How this typically works is the client will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional financial help to pay this discounted fee. Admissions staff can help clients 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 person completes treatment.
