It is not uncommon for people engaged in substance abuse to expend all financial resources on their addiction. When it comes time to get help in a Tulare drug treatment center, there may be no money remaining to cover the costs of such treatment. If the addicted individual is not covered by private health insurance in Tulare, they will need to self pay in order to receive rehab services. Self pay implies 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 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 discounted rate or sliding scale fee. These options for self pay clients are typically determined based on each individual's circumstances which can include household income and other potential sources of income.
