Addictions are equal opportunity diseases. They care not who they attack be it man, woman, child, rich or poor. Any victim that an addiction can claim is perfectly okay with that particular addiction. For this very reason, it’s important than anyone who might fall victim is able to get access to treatment.
The Florida drug and alcohol addiction treatment community is among one of the best addiction communities in the world. The community as a whole is well-deserving of the label “drug addiction rehab capital of the world.” One of the reasons Florida stands above so many of the other addiction communities is because of its willingness and ability to offer services to pretty much anyone who might need them.
Of course, paying for treatment is always going to be an important consideration. Without healthcare insurance, there’s always the possibility the lack of payment resources is going to act as a determent for some individuals to get the care they so desperately need. That’s not a good thing.
If you are poor and still contemplating getting treatment from an addiction treatment facility in Florida, you have to take into consideration how your are going to pay for treatment. Assuming you don’t have healthcare insurance or adequate coverage at the least, we want to explain some of the things Florida rehabs do to make treatment more accessible to people without access to payment resources.
How Are Florida Rehabs Making Addiction Healthcare More Accessible to the Poor?
What’s very clear about the Florida addiction treatment community is the high level of professionalism that exists among so many of the treatment professionals. These are highly trained individuals whose primary motivation for working is being able to save souls and lives. The idea they can’t get access to some people because of money just goes against everything they stand for as professionals. Still, they do realize they work in a profit motivated environment.
To overcome this conflict, it becomes necessary for administrators to figure out how they can help the poor overcome financial barriers. If we are to assume you do not have healthcare insurance nor the financial resources to pay for treatment, we want to let you know how we may still be able to help you.
Support from Charitable Organizations
When the chips are down, it has become normal in America to seek help from charitable organizations. These are the organizations that have processes and the human resources needed to ask giving individuals/corporations for help in the form of donations. It’s these donations, when administered properly, that can save people for horrible suffering.
What we are seeing in Florida is the integration of the charity community with the addiction treatment community. This integration is taking place on two levels. First, many Florida rehabs are connecting with charities to form pools of financial resources that can be used to offset the cost of treating someone without the resources to pay for treatment. This is a big deal, especially to the folks who otherwise might not be able to step up and ask for help.
At the second level, there are a number of charitable organizations that are actually sponsoring and opening their own licensed drug treatment facilities. This is a great approach to the problem because treatment can be directed specifically towards people who have financial issues that might also play a part in the causes of their addictions.
In-House Financing With Reasonable Payment Terms
It’s not unheard of for a top rehab to offer in-house financing plans to help poorer people financially qualify for treatment. This is one of the things some rehabs choose to do with an understanding there’s a risk to offering poor people credit. It’s really about having the heart to give treatment first and worry about getting payment at a later date.
Making Scholarships and Grants Available
There are some government agencies that provide rehabs access to funds that can be used to treat addiction clients. There’s also a number of grateful former clients who have the resources to pay it forward to the less fortunate in the form of legacy grants and scholarship monies. Many of the top Florida rehabs will pool these monies and develop scholarship/grant programs they can use to make treatment affordable for poorer addiction sufferers.
