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

One form of payment help that some alcohol and drug treatment programs may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide help on an individual basis which can greatly reduce rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Massapequa Park only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser amount. 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 paid back until after the person completes treatment.
