If a person's health insurance won't cover the cost of drug or alcohol rehab, they have no choice but to find some way to cover treatment through cash or self-payment. Some drug and alcohol rehab centers in Mead provide free or low cost rehabilitation, whereas these programs are usually state funded or part of a church or similar social-betterment organization. If services aren't free in such a facility, it is often severely discounted.
If self-payment is an option, many facilities and programs accept cash as well as credit cards and debit cards. Some clients prefer paying in cash because it ensures more privacy and anonymity. Most facilities and rehab programs will not accept checks as a form of self-payment.
If a person receives treatment on an urgent basis in an emergency room setting, and they don't have health insurance, it is common 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 clients who have the upfront money or other resources available to cover the cost of rehabilitation, is the diversity of options to choose from including successful long-term residential Treatment programs and high-end and luxury rehab centers.
