Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - St. Albans, NY.

One kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide assistance on a case-by-case basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the individual will need to meet certain criteria and 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 administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if someone in St. Albans makes $18K a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted amount. Intake staff can help people or family who are footing the bill for treatment apply for financing from a third party lender, and in some cases this money doesn't need to be paid until after the individual finishes treatment.
