If you’re looking for West New York rehab centers that can help you beat an addiction, you may be worried about how you will pay for it, especially if you have little or no insurance. However, according to a report by New Jersey’s Department of Human Services, only 13% of the people who entered drug rehabilitation centers in Hudson County in 2016 had private insurance.¹ A full 31% had no insurance at all, while 60% relied on Medicaid. So, don’t let fear of inability to pay stop you from getting the help you need for a substance abuse problem.

There are several options for people to pay for drug rehab if they don’t have private insurance, including:

• Checking to see if you qualify for Medicaid or Medicare if you’re not already signed up with one of these programs. These federal and state health insurance programs service low-income people and anyone else receiving federal income assistance.
• Applying for insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
• Reaching out to a family member for a loan; they can make financial arrangements directly with the center.
• Finding out if the treatment center that you’re interested in has special financing programs for people who don’t have insurance. You may be able to come up with a payment arrangement that works for you; some programs offer a sliding scale too.

The first step toward getting help is simply making the decision to enter a treatment program. Search our directory to find West New York drug rehabilitation centers and programs nearby.
