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

A kind of payment help that some drug treatment facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular client. 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay this lesser fee. Intake staff can help individuals or their loved ones who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the client finishes rehab.
