Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Long Lake, NY.

One kind of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will need 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Long Lake earns $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this lesser amount. Intake staff can help people 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 individual finishes treatment.
