When a person's health insurance won't cover the cost of drug or alcohol treatment, they are forced to find some way to cover rehab through cash or self-payment. Some substance abuse treatment facilities in Polo offer free treatment, where these programs are most commonly state funded or affiliated with a church or similar organization. If services aren't free in such a facility, it is usually severely discounted.
If self-payment is an option, most clinics and rehab programs accept cash as well as credit cards and debit cards. Some clients prefer paying in cash because it results in more anonymity and privacy. Most clinics and rehab programs will not take 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 insurance coverage, 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 advantage of self-pay and cash for individuals who have the upfront money or other liquid resources available to pay for rehabilitation, is the wide variety of rehab options to choose from including effective long-term residential Treatment programs and high-end and luxury rehab programs.
