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

One form of payment help that some substance abuse treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on a case-by-case basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the individual 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 information intake admins can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Somers earns $18,000 a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30 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 this discounted fee. Intake administrators 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 repaid until after the individual completes treatment.
