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

A type of payment assistance that some drug rehabilitation programs 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 a case-by-case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. How this typically works is the person 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 information intake admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in New Haven earns $18,000 a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
