Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Port Jefferson Station, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some drug treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide assistance on a case-by-case basis that can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will need to satisfy certain 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 information admissions admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in Port Jefferson Station only makes $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 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 may need to pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to pay the discounted amount. Intake administrators can help clients or family 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 rehab.
