It is not uncommon for people engaged in substance abuse to exhaust all resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a Lexington drug rehabilitation program, there may be no money remaining to cover the costs of such treatment. If the person is not covered by private health insurance in Lexington, Kentucky, they will need to self pay in order to obtain rehabilitation services. Self pay means that the person will need to come up with the money to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation, costs which can vary depending on the rehabilitation option which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug rehabilitation, prospective treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to find out if any payment assistance can be offered in the form of a discounted rate or slide scale fee. These options for self pay clients are usually decided based on each individual's circumstances which can include personal income and other possible sources of income.
