Cash or Self-Payment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Athens, WV.

When a person's health insurance won't cover the cost of drug or alcohol rehabilitation, they have no choice but to find a way to pay for rehabilitation through cash or self-payment. Some substance abuse rehab centers in Athens provide free or low cost treatment, where these facilities are most commonly 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 rehab programs take cash as well as debit cards and credit cards. Some families prefer paying in cash because it provides more privacy and anonymity. Most clinics and rehab programs will not take checks as a form of self-payment.

When someone 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 benefit of self-pay and cash for individuals who have the upfront money or other liquid resources available to cover the cost of treatment, is the diversity of options to choose from including effective long-term residential rehabilitation facilities and high-end and luxury rehab options.
