Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Waterford, NY.

One kind of payment help that some drug rehab facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide help on a case-by-case basis which can lower treatment costs so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the client will have to meet certain criteria and requirements for payment assistance, 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 intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Waterford only earns $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 family and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to afford the discounted fee. Intake administrators can help individuals or family who are footing the bill for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the individual completes rehab.
