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

A type of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities may give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If a client can afford some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular individual. This typically works like this: the individual will have to satisfy certain 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 admissions administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

As an example, if an individual in Westford only earns $18K a year, has 3 dependent children they are supporting and $800 in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for rehab, whereas an individual who has no family and makes $30 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding fee scales are available, people may need to seek additional financial help to pay this lesser amount. Intake administrators can help people or family who are paying for rehab apply for financing from a third party lender, and in mostcases this money doesn't need to be repaid until after the person finishes rehabilitation.
