Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Walker Valley, NY.

A kind of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug treatment facilities may offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it is affordable for that particular person. How this typically works is the person will need to satisfy certain 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 family and financial information admissions admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if a person in Walker Valley earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to pay the discounted fee. Intake staff can help individuals 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 person finishes rehabilitation.
