It is not unusual for people engaged in substance abuse to deplete all resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in a Malad drug treatment center, there may be nothing remaining to cover the costs of such treatment. If the person is not covered by private health insurance in Malad, they will need to self pay in order to receive rehab services. Self pay implies that the individual will need to come up with the financial resources to pay for the costs of drug rehab, costs which will vary depending on the rehabilitation option which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug rehabilitation, prospective treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to determine if any payment assistance can be offered in the form of a reduced rate or slide scale fee. These options for self pay clients are usually determined based on each individual's circumstances which can include household income and other potential financial resources.
