Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Pleasant Valley, NY.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 admissions administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in Pleasant Valley only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
