In addition, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Individuals can select a good center they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.
