When someone's health insurance won't cover the cost of drug rehab, they must discover some way to pay for rehabilitation through cash or self-payment. Some drug and alcohol rehab centers in Peru offer free or low cost rehabilitation, and these facilities are usually state funded or affiliated with a church or similar organization. If treatment isn't free in such a facility, it is commonly made affordable through special programs.
If self-payment is doable, most facilities and rehab programs accept cash as well as debit cards and credit cards. Some families prefer making a cash payment because it provides more privacy and anonymity. Most facilities and programs will not take checks as a form of self-payment.
If a person receives treatment on an urgent basis in an emergency room setting, and they don't have health insurance, it is typical for the patient to be billed and required to pay at a later date. In many cases, these bills can be reduced through state run programs if the individual meets certain requirements regarding income and other circumstances.
Another benefit of self-pay and cash for individuals who have the cash or other resources on hand to pay for rehab, is the wide variety of treatment options to choose from such as effective long-term residential rehabilitation programs and private and luxury rehab centers.
