It is not unusual for people engaged in substance abuse to exhaust all resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a Douglas drug rehab program, there may be no money left to pay for such treatment. If the person is not covered by private health insurance in Douglas, they will need to self pay in order to obtain rehabilitation services. Self pay implies that the person will need to come up with the resources to pay for the costs of drug rehab, costs which can vary depending on the treatment type which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug rehab, 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 sliding scale fee. These payment assistance options for self pay clients are typically decided based on each individual's personal situation which can include personal income and other potential sources of income.
