It can be very difficult to pay for lifesaving substance abuse treatment, notably if you don't have any health insurance and hardly any funds accessible to self pay for rehabilitation. Alcohol and drug abuse can quickly drain someone's banking account, leaving very little left to cover rehab after they plan to get help. Often times family will need to combine their efforts to find a way to pay for a quality drug and alcohol treatment program, if the individual does actually must self pay for their services because they don't have health insurance. Luckily, there are facilities with payment assistance options to help addicted individuals so they will ultimately be in a position to cover the costs of treatment one way or another. After all other choices have already been explored people who want rehabilitation can provide certain details to the Finance Department of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility of choice. Facilities with payment assistance employ this information to find out what assistance can be offered, such as a sliding scale fee which determines the price of rehab considering unique circumstances including income, dependents, and what kind of money they have accessible.
