It is not unusual for people involved in substance abuse to expend all financial resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a Newport drug rehab center, there may be nothing remaining to cover the costs of such treatment. If the addicted individual is not covered by private health insurance in Newport, Rhode Island, they will need to self pay in order to obtain rehab services. Self pay implies that the individual will need to come up with the resources to cover the costs of drug rehab, 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, potential 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 options for self pay clients are typically decided based on each individual's circumstances which can include personal income as well as other possible sources of income.
