Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Prattsburgh, NY.

A kind of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on an individual basis that 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 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 family and financial information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Prattsburgh only earns $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 someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek further financial help to pay this lesser fee. Admissions staff can help people or their loved ones who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual completes rehabilitation.
