Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it.

When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant.

Sliding Fee Scale
