It is not unusual for people involved in substance abuse to exhaust all financial resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a Mathews, AL. drug treatment program, there may be nothing remaining to pay for such treatment. If the addicted individual is not covered by private health insurance in Mathews, they will need to self pay in order to obtain rehabilitation services. Self pay means that the individual will need to come up with the resources to cover 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 rehab, prospective treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to find out if any payment assistance can be offered in the form of a reduced rate or slide scale fee. These payment assistance options for self pay clients are usually determined based on each individual's personal situation which can include personal income and other possible sources of income.
