Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Parish, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehab programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide financial aid on a case by case basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Parish earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client completes rehabilitation.
