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

A type of payment assistance that some drug rehab centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide help on a case by case basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular person. How this typically works is the client 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.

As an example, if someone in Salem only makes $18K a 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 $30,000/year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, people may need to seek further financial help to afford this lesser amount. Intake administrators can help individuals or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual finishes rehabilitation.
