It is not unusual for people engaged in substance abuse to expend all resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a California Hot Springs, California drug rehab facility, there may be no money left to pay for such treatment. If the person is not covered by private health insurance in California Hot Springs, they will need to self pay in order to obtain rehabilitation services. Self pay means that the individual will need to come up with the money 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, prospective treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to determine if any payment assistance can be offered in the form of a reduced rate or slide scale fee. These payment assistance options for self pay clients are usually determined based on each individual's circumstances which can include household income and other potential sources of income.
