Before you can conquer alcoholism or drug addiction, it's important to fully understand them. Every person has different factors that can lead to addiction and substance abuse. We discuss how drugs can affect your body, what causes people to turn to them, and how you can recover from alcoholism or other substance abuse disorders.
The Underlying Causes of Addiction
To get a quick high, or to manage stress or other health issues, many people turn to drugs of abuse. The co-occurring symptoms of mental disorders can be made worse by the use of alcohol or other drugs. We help you learn healthy ways to deal with your unpleasant emotions and treat the root causes of addiction.
A personal approach is required for rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. It should be customized to meet your individual needs. We will work with you to design a personal treatment plan. This could include individual therapy, counseling and group therapy.

Supporting Long-Term Recovery
Recovery is a continuous journey. It's easier to get help when you have it. By guiding you through the recovery process and connecting you with support groups, drug rehab prepares you to live a healthy life. Support is available to you, regardless if you are in recovery yourself or supporting someone else.
A small number of people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol choose not to seek treatment due to the high price tag. Although rehab's cost is minimal, it is still much less than the social and health costs that could be incurred if you choose to avoid treatment. These consequences can be prevented by getting treatment now.
Millions of Americans live with an addiction every day. A 2016 U.S. surgeon general report estimated that nearly 21 million Americans have a substance abuse disorder. Only 10% receive substance abuse treatment.
This is why? One reason may be due to the high costs. The cost of treatment was a major factor in the fact that almost 40% of Americans with substance use disorders didn't get to rehab between 2011-2014. They either couldn't afford it, or they didn’t have insurance.
The cost of treatment is far less than the cost for addiction. Many people don't realize that insurance can help reduce the cost of rehabilitation. The new law requires insurance companies to cover mental health and addiction treatment.
How Much Does Rehab Cost
There are many levels of care at addiction centers throughout the country. Prices vary for each one. For people with severe addictions, intensive and extended treatment may be required. The cost of intensive care is usually higher than that of standard treatment.
Detox
Detox is the process by which drugs are removed from the body. It also helps to overcome withdrawal symptoms. Based on data from drug treatment facilities in the United States, the average cost for a 30-day detox program is $250 to $800 per person.
Residential Treatment
Basic residential treatment costs between $2,000 - $20,000. It often involves assessments and round-the-clock supervision. Long-term residential therapy, which can last between 60 to 90 minutes, may be twice the cost.
Luxury rehab facilities may charge more than $25,000 per month for 30 days. However, private treatment centers typically charge less.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient care allows patients the freedom to live at their own homes while they receive treatment. Through a series or appointments, patients can become drug-free and live in their own homes. A three-month outpatient program can often cost around $5,000. Outpatient treatment can be as high as $10,000 at some facilities.
Intensive Outpatient Rehab
Inpatient intensive treatment is a higher-quality version of outpatient therapy. It typically includes multiple appointments per work week, lasting approximately three hours per day. This type of care costs anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 for 30 consecutive days.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalization programs are for patients who require intensive treatment during the day and can return to their home in the evening. PHP typically costs between $350- $450 per hour.
Medication-Assisted Opioid treatment
A U.S. Department of Defense 2016 report estimated the cost of various opioid addiction treatment programs.

Cost-Free Programs
Some facilities offer payment assistance, or sliding-fee scales. Treatment centers can be costly. Other facilities offer programs for free, funded by state taxes. These state-sponsored programs often have long wait lists.
For those in recovery, support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous can be a great option. These 12-step programs have been helping millions of people to achieve and maintain sobriety for more than 60 years through regular meetings. There are some faith-based organizations that offer free treatment.
