It is not unusual for people engaged in substance abuse to expend all financial resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in a Preston drug rehabilitation facility, there may be no money left over to cover the costs of such treatment. If the addicted individual is not covered by private health insurance in Preston, they will need to self pay in order to obtain rehabilitation services. Self pay implies that the individual will need to come up with the resources to pay for the costs of drug rehabilitation, costs which can vary depending on the rehabilitation 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 slide scale fee. These options for self pay clients are usually decided based on each individual's circumstances which can include household income as well as other possible sources of income.
