Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter.

Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Sliding Fee Scale
