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

One form of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Northport only makes $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 an individual who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted amount. Intake staff can help individuals 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 repaid until after the person completes rehabilitation.
