Before you can beat drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to understand the causes. 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.
Resolving the Root Causes of Addiction
Many people abuse substances to get highs or to deal with stress and other health conditions. The co-occurring symptoms of mental disorders can be made worse by the use of alcohol or other drugs. We teach healthy ways of coping with unhappiness and address all underlying causes of addiction.
Individualized treatment is necessary for those suffering from drug or alcohol addiction. You should tailor it to your specific needs. We will work with you to design a personal treatment plan. This could include individual therapy, counseling 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's easier to get help when you have it. The goal of drug rehab is to prepare you for a life free from addiction. We will help you navigate your recovery, and connect you to support groups. There are support options available, regardless of whether you are in recovery or caring for a loved one.
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 are living with addiction every day. A U.S. surgeon général report in 2016 estimated that close to 21 million Americans suffer from substance abuse disorders. Only 10 percent receive treatment for substance abuse.
Why? Costs are a major reason. 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. 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. People suffering from severe substance use disorders may need more intensive and extended treatment. In general, intensive care is more costly than standard treatment.
Detox
Detoxification refers to the removal of drugs from the body. 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
The cost of basic residential treatment which includes assessments and monitoring around-the-clock is typically between $2,000-$20,000,000. Long-term residential care that lasts 60 to 90 days may be twice as expensive.
For 30 days of treatment, luxury rehab facilities may charge upwards to $25,000 Most private treatment centers charge much less.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient care allows patients the freedom to live at their own homes while they receive treatment. Patients are taught how to stay drug-free by attending a series. Outpatient treatment can be as low as $5,000 for a 3-month program. 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. This treatment can be between $3,000 and $10,000 over 30 days.
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 Management
A U.S. Department of Defense 2016 report estimated the cost of various opioid addiction treatment programs.

Programs for free
Treatment centers can be very expensive. However, some facilities offer payment assistance. Other facilities offer programs for free, funded by state taxes. These programs sponsored by the state often have long waiting 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 also free treatment options offered by faith-based groups.
