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

One form of payment help that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. How this typically works is the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

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

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this discounted amount. Admissions administrators can help clients or their loved ones 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 back until after the client finishes rehabilitation.
