It is not uncommon for people engaged in substance abuse to deplete all financial resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a Lindsay drug rehabilitation facility, there may be nothing remaining to cover the costs of such treatment. If the individual is not covered by private health insurance in Lindsay, they will need to self pay in order to obtain rehab services. Self pay implies that the person will need to come up with the resources to cover the costs of drug treatment, costs which will vary depending on the treatment type 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 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 determined based on each individual's circumstances which can include personal income and other potential financial resources.
