Before you can overcome drug and alcohol addiction, you need to be able to recognize 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.
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. However, alcohol and other drugs can exacerbate co-occurring mental disorders. We help you learn healthy ways to deal with your unpleasant emotions and treat the root causes of addiction.
Individualized treatment is necessary for those suffering from drug or alcohol addiction. It should be tailored to you. We work with each client to create a customized treatment plan. It may include counseling, therapy in groups, or medication-assisted options.

We offer safe environments that will help you detox from alcohol and other drugs. Treatment doesn't stop with detox. 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's easier to get help when you have it. You can expect to be able to transition smoothly from treatment to recovery and introduce you into support groups. Support options are available to anyone, whether you're in treatment or supporting someone you love.
Because of the perceived high prices of addiction treatment, only a very small portion of those who need it pursue treatment. However, the cost of treatment is small compared to the possible health and social consequences of not seeking it. These can be prevented by seeking treatment immediately.
Millions of Americans suffer from addiction every day. A U.S. surgeon général report in 2016 estimated that close to 21 million Americans suffer from substance abuse disorders. However, only 10% of these people receive substance abuse treatment.
What is the reason? Costs are a major reason. A staggering 40% of Americans with a substance misuse disorder who needed treatment between 2011 and 2014 did not go to rehab because it was too expensive or they didn't have any insurance.
The cost of treatment can be far lower than the cost associated with addiction. A lot of people are unaware that insurance can greatly reduce the cost for rehab. Insurance companies must now cover mental and addiction treatment under new laws.
How much does rehab cost?
Prices for treatment at addiction centers in the United States vary by level. 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 to eliminate drugs from your body and avoid withdrawal. 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 costs between $2,000 - $20,000. It often involves assessments and round-the-clock supervision. Long-term residential care that lasts 60 to 90 days may be twice as expensive.
Luxury rehab facilities may charge more than $25,000 per month for 30 days. Most private treatment centers charge much less.
Outpatient Rehab
Individuals can receive outpatient treatment while they live at home. Through a series or appointments, patients can become drug-free and live in their own homes. For a three-month program, outpatient care can cost as much as $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. For 30 days, intensive outpatient treatment costs between $3,000- $10,000.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalization programs on the other hand are designed for patients who need to be treated intensively during the day, but can return to their normal home environment in the evening. PHP usually costs between $350- $450 per daily.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Treatment
The U.S. Department of Defense published a report in 2016 that estimated the cost of different opioid treatment programs.

Programs for free
Treatment centers can be very expensive. However, some facilities offer payment assistance. Other locations offer programs that are completely free of charge and covered by state taxes. 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 have helped millions to get sobriety over the past six decades through regular meetings. There are also free treatment options offered by faith-based groups.
