Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - North Chatham, NY.

One kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment 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 an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the person will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford this discounted fee. Intake staff can help people or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person completes rehab.
