It is not unusual for people engaged in substance abuse to expend all financial resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a Las Vegas, Nevada drug rehab center, there may be no money remaining to cover the costs of such treatment. If the addicted individual is not covered by private health insurance in Las Vegas, Nevada, they will need to self pay in order to receive treatment services. Self pay means that the person will need to come up with the money to pay for the costs of drug rehabilitation, costs which can vary depending on the treatment option which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug rehab, potential treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to find out 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 usually determined based on each individual's personal situation which can include personal income as well as other possible sources of income.
