Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ocean Beach, NY.

A kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these centers provide help on a case by case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will need to satisfy certain 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Ocean Beach only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents 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 may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family who are footing the bill 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 treatment.
