Sliding Fee Scale - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Westfield, NJ.

One form of payment assistance that some alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities can give to their clients is a sliding fee scale. If an individual can provide some degree of self-payment, these facilities provide financial aid on an individual basis that can lower the cost of treatment so that it can be afforded by that particular client. This typically works like this: the client will need 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 intake administrators can determine the cost to the client using a sliding scale.

For example, if a person in Westfield makes $18,000 a year, has 3 children and 800 dollars in monthly bills they may only need to pay $1000 for treatment, whereas someone who has no dependents and makes $30,000 a year with no overhead must pay much more.

Even when sliding payment scales are available, individuals may need to seek further assistance to afford this lesser fee. 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 repaid until after the person finishes rehab.
