Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Philadelphia, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain requirements for payment help 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 information admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Philadelphia only makes $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 dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to afford the discounted amount. Intake staff can help people 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 completes rehab.
