Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - West Oneonta, NY.

One form of payment assistance that some drug treatment centers may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford some degree of self-payment, these centers provide help on an individual basis which can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the individual will have to meet certain criteria and 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 information admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if someone in West Oneonta only makes $18,000/year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who is single and makes $30 a year with no overhead will pay $3000.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, clients may need to seek further financial help to afford this discounted amount. Admissions staff can help clients or their loved ones who are footing the bill for rehab 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 rehabilitation.
