It is not uncommon for people engaged in substance abuse to deplete all financial resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in a Scotts Valley drug treatment center, there may be nothing left over to cover the costs of such treatment. If the person is not covered by private health insurance in Scotts Valley, they will need to self pay in order to receive rehab services. Self pay implies that the person will need to come up with the financial resources to pay for the costs of drug rehabilitation, costs which can vary depending on the treatment option which is being considered. If the self pay option is the only way to pay for drug rehabilitation, prospective treatment clients can work with treatment counselors to determine 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 and other potential sources of income.
