It is not unusual for people engaged in substance abuse to expend all resources on their addiction. When it is time to get help in a South Charleston drug rehab program, there may be nothing left over to cover the costs of such treatment. If the person is not covered by private health insurance in South Charleston, they will need to self pay in order to receive treatment services. Self pay implies that the person will need to come up with the money to pay for the costs of drug treatment, 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 rehabilitation, prospective 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 typically decided based on each individual's circumstances which can include personal income and other potential sources of income.
