Is There a Way to Get Around Paying for Inpatient Treatment?

Question by smarks85: Is there a way to get around paying for inpatient treatment?
I am wondering for my sister. She is 25 and barely has a job and doesn’t have health insurance. I think she has a serious drug problem. She knows she needs to go back to treatment but she’s so concerned about how to pay for it. Is there a way to check yourself in without paying a ton of money?

I assume you’re talking about inpatient rehab. Unfortunately the private rehab centers are very costly. You can try contacting a local county hospital which can treat her for a low cost although they have limited amount of beds and it is difficult to get accepted right away, she might need to wait for a bed.
Good luck!
