Cash or Self-Payment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Northampton, PA.

When a person's health insurance won't cover the cost of drug or alcohol treatment, they have no choice but to look for a way to find the funds for rehabilitation through cash or self-payment. Some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities in Northampton offer free treatment, where these programs are usually state funded or part of a church or similar social-betterment organization. If treatment isn't free in such a facility, it is usually severely discounted.

If self-payment is an option, most facilities and programs accept cash as well as credit cards and debit cards. Some people prefer paying in cash because it ensures more anonymity and privacy. Most clinics and rehab programs will not accept checks as a form of self-payment.

If someone needs treatment on an urgent basis in an emergency room setting, and they don't have insurance coverage, 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 those who have the cash or other resources available to cover the cost of treatment, is the diversity of rehab options to select from including successful long-term residential rehab programs and private and luxury rehab centers.
