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

One form of payment assistance that some substance abuse treatment programs can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide help on an individual basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Waddington earns $18K a year, has 3 children and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who has no dependents and makes $30,000/year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek additional assistance to pay the lesser amount. Intake admin can help people or their loved ones 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 repaid until after the individual completes treatment.
