Cash or Self-Payment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Richmond, MA.

When a person's health insurance won't cover the cost of substance abuse treatment, they must find a way to pay for treatment through cash or self-payment. Some drug and alcohol recovery centers in Richmond provide free or low cost treatment, whereas these facilities are most commonly state funded or part of a church or similar organization. If treatment isn't free in such a facility, it is often severely discounted.

If self-payment is doable, most facilities and programs take cash as well as credit cards and debit cards. Some people prefer making a cash payment because it provides more privacy and anonymity. Most clinics and 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 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 advantage of self-pay and cash for individuals who have the cash or other resources on hand to pay for treatment, is the diversity of treatment options to select from such as successful long-term residential rehab programs and high-end and luxury treatment programs.
