Before you can overcome drug and alcohol addiction, you need to be able to recognize their causes. Every person has different factors that can lead to addiction and substance abuse. We will explain how drugs affect the body, why people use them, and how to get help for alcoholism.
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 teach healthy methods to cope with negative emotions, and treat all the underlying causes.

Supporting Long-Term Recovery
Recovery is a long-term process. It is easier to have support. You can expect to be able to transition smoothly from treatment to recovery and introduce you into support groups. You have many support options, no matter if you're recovering from addiction or supporting a loved-one.
Only a few people with addiction seek treatment because of the perceived high cost. However, the cost of treatment is small compared to the possible health and social consequences of not seeking it. These consequences can be prevented by getting treatment now.
Millions of Americans struggle with addiction each day. A 2016 U.S. surgeon general report estimated that nearly 21 million Americans have a substance abuse disorder. Only 10 percent receive treatment for substance abuse.
This is 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.
However, the cost of treatment is much less than that of addiction. People don't realize the fact that insurance can dramatically reduce rehab costs. Insurance companies must now cover mental and addiction treatment under new laws.
What is the Cost of Rehab?
Each level of treatment in addiction centers across the country is different. People with more severe drug use disorders are likely to require more intensive and longer-term treatment. Standard treatment is generally more expensive than intensive 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 therapy, which can last between 60 to 90 minutes, may be twice the cost.
Luxury rehab centers can charge up to $25,000 per 30 days. Most private treatment centers charge much less.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient care allows people to stay at home while receiving treatment. Patients learn how to live drug-free at home through a series of appointments. Outpatient care is often available for as little as $5,000 per month. Outpatient treatment can be as high as $10,000 at some facilities.
Intensive Outpatient Rehab
Intensive outpatient care is a more thorough form of outpatient healthcare. It generally involves multiple appointments per semaine that last approximately three hours each. 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 is generally between $350 to $450 per day.
Medication-Assisted Opioid treatment
A U.S. Department of Defense 2016 report estimated the cost of various opioid addiction treatment programs.

Programs that are cost-free
Although treatment centers can be expensive, there are some that offer payment assistance and sliding fee scales. Some facilities offer programs at no cost, which are paid for by state taxes. These state-sponsored programs are often subject to long waitlists.
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.
