It is not unusual for individuals involved in substance abuse to exhaust all financial resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in an Owego, NY. drug rehab facility, there may be no money left to cover the costs of such treatment. If the addicted individual is not covered by private health insurance in Owego, they will need to self pay in order to receive rehabilitation services. Self pay means that the individual will need to come up with the money to pay for the costs of drug rehabilitation, 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 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 options for self pay clients are usually decided based on each individual's circumstances which can include household income and other possible sources of income.
