It is not unusual for people engaged in substance abuse to exhaust all resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in a Milton drug treatment 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 Milton, 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 resources to cover the costs of drug treatment, costs which will vary depending on the rehabilitation type which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug treatment, potential 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 sliding scale fee. These payment assistance options for self pay clients are usually determined based on each individual's personal situation which can include household income as well as other potential sources of income.
