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 a Tortilla Flat drug treatment facility, there may be no money left over to pay for such treatment. If the individual is not covered by private health insurance in Tortilla Flat, 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 cover the costs of drug rehab, costs which will vary depending on the rehabilitation 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 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 personal situation which can include household income as well as other potential financial resources.
