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

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

As an example, if an individual in Manchester only earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted amount. Intake administrators can help individuals or family who are footing the bill 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.
