Cash or Self-Payment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Athens, IL.

When someone's health insurance won't cover the cost of drug treatment, they must look for some way to cover rehab through cash or self-payment. Some drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Athens provide free or low cost rehab, and these programs are typically state funded or part of a church or similar organization. If treatment isn't free in such an institution, it is usually severely discounted.

If self-payment is possible, many facilities and programs take cash as well as credit cards and debit cards. Some people prefer paying in cash because it results in more privacy and anonymity. Most clinics and programs won't accept checks as a form of self-payment.

When someone needs treatment on an urgent basis in an emergency room setting, and they don't have health insurance, it is typical for the patient to be billed and required to pay at a later date. In many cases, these bills can be reduced through state run programs if the individual meets certain requirements regarding income and other circumstances.

Another benefit of self-pay and cash for clients who have the upfront money or other resources available to cover the cost of rehabilitation, is the diversity of options to select from such as effective long-term residential rehabilitation facilities and high-end and luxury rehab programs.
