Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - New York City, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment centers can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in New York City only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Admissions administrators can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes rehab.
