Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Saranac Lake, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some substance abuse rehabilitation centers may offer their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case by case basis that can lower rehab costs so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will need to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Saranac Lake only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford the discounted amount. Intake staff can help people or their loved ones 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 until after the individual completes rehab.
