Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Rocky Point, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some drug treatment centers can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide any deposit or payment by themselves, these programs provide financial aid on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will need to satisfy certain 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Rocky Point earns $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30,000/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 lesser amount. Intake administrators can help people or family who are paying for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid back until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
