Before you can overcome alcohol and drug addiction, you must first understand their causes. Each person is different in how they succumb to drug abuse or addiction. 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.
Treating the Underlying Reasons for Addiction
People use substances of abuse to obtain quick highs, relieve stress, and to cope with other medical conditions. Alcohol and other drugs can worsen symptoms of co-occurring disorders. We help you learn healthy ways to deal with your unpleasant emotions and treat the root causes of addiction.
You need to be able to relate to the person receiving treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse. It should be tailored to you. We will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that includes counseling, individual therapy, and group therapy.
Proven Treatment Methods
We provide safe environments to help you rid yourself of alcohol or other drugs. However, detox is only the beginning. To set you up for success, we will teach you healthy coping strategies, stress relief techniques, and skills.
Supporting Long-Term Recovery
Recovery is a long-term process. It is easier to have support. Support groups and guidance are key to your success in drug rehab. There are support options available, regardless of whether you are in recovery or caring for a loved one.
Only a few people with addiction seek treatment because of the perceived high cost. However, rehab costs are small in comparison to the health and social risks of avoiding treatment. You can avoid these problems by getting help immediately.
Millions of Americans are living with addiction every day. A U.S. surgeon-general report from 2016 estimates that almost 21 million Americans suffer with a substance use disorder. However, only 10% of these people receive substance abuse treatment.
Why? This is partly because of the cost. 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 can be far lower than the cost associated with addiction. Many people don't realize that insurance can help reduce the cost of rehabilitation. New laws mandate that insurance companies cover addiction and mental healthcare treatment.
How Much Does Rehab Cost
There are many levels of care at addiction centers throughout the country. Prices vary for each one. Patients with more severe substance abuse disorders will likely require intensive and prolonged treatment. Intensive treatment tends to be more expensive than standard care.
Detox
Detox is the process by which drugs are removed from the body. It also helps to overcome withdrawal symptoms. Based on information from drug treatment facilities throughout the United States and estimates of daily costs, a 30-day detox can cost between $250 and $800.
Residential Treatment
Basic residential treatment is estimated to cost between $2,000 and $25,000 and often includes assessments and 24-hour supervision. Long-term residential care that lasts 60 to 90 days may be twice as expensive.
Luxury rehab centers can charge up to $25,000 per 30 days. Private treatment centers usually charge less.
Outpatient Rehab
Individuals can receive outpatient treatment while they live at home. Patients are taught how to stay drug-free by attending a series. Outpatient care is often available for as little as $5,000 per month. Outpatient treatment may be available at some facilities for up to $10,000.
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. For 30 days, intensive outpatient treatment costs between $3,000- $10,000.
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 costs approximately $350-$450 per day.
Medication-Assisted Opioid treatment
The U.S. Department of Defense published a report in 2016 that estimated the cost of different opioid treatment programs.

Cost-Free Programs
Even though treatment centers are expensive, many facilities offer payment assistance or sliding fees scales. Some programs are free and paid for by the state. These programs, which are state sponsored, often have long waiting list.
People in recovery can also turn to support groups like Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. These 12-step programs, which have been in existence for over six decades, have helped millions of people maintain or achieve sobriety by holding regular meetings. Many faith-based organizations also offer free treatment options.
