It is not uncommon for people involved in substance abuse to deplete all financial resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in an Ambridge drug rehabilitation program, there may be nothing left over to pay for such treatment. If the individual is not covered by private health insurance in Ambridge, they will need to self pay in order to obtain treatment services. Self pay implies that the individual will need to come up with the financial resources to pay for the costs of drug treatment, costs which will vary depending on the treatment option which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug treatment, potential treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to determine if any payment assistance can be offered in the form of a reduced rate or sliding scale fee. These options for self pay clients are typically determined based on each individual's circumstances which can include household income and other possible sources of income.
