Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Thompson Ridge, NY.

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs can give to their clients is an adjustable fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these programs provide assistance on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. This typically works like this: the person will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment help 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Thompson Ridge only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30 a year with no overhead may need to pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the discounted amount. Intake staff can help clients or family who are paying for rehab 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 finishes rehabilitation.
