Sliding Fee Scale - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Williamstown, NY.

A type of payment help that some drug rehabilitation facilities can offer their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can afford any deposit or payment by themselves, these facilities provide assistance on an individual basis which can greatly reduce the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the person will need 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 information intake administrators can determine what that client will need to pay, using a sliding scale.

For example, if an individual in Williamstown makes $18,000 a year, has 3 dependents and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas a person who is single and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead will pay much more.

Even in cases where sliding payment scales are offered, individuals may need to seek additional financial help to afford the lesser amount. Admissions staff can help clients or family who are paying 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 client completes rehabilitation.
