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

A type of payment help that some substance abuse rehab programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will have 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Oswegatchie only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional assistance to afford the lesser fee. Intake staff can help people or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
