Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face.

Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance
