Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Shandaken, NY.

A type of payment help that some drug and alcohol treatment centers can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Shandaken only makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser fee. Intake staff can help clients 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 individual completes rehabilitation.
