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

One form of payment assistance that some drug and alcohol treatment programs may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these centers provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce treatment costs so that it is affordable for that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have 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 admins can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Waterport only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, 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 offered, people may need to seek additional assistance to pay this lesser fee. Intake administrators can help people or their loved ones 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 until after the person completes rehabilitation.
