Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Owls Head, NY.

A kind of payment help that some drug and alcohol rehab centers may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client 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 individual. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 Owls Head only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to pay the lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the person finishes treatment.
