Before you can overcome alcohol and drug addiction, you must first understand their 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.
Treatment of the Sub-Principal 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 teach healthy methods to cope with negative emotions, and treat all the underlying causes.
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.

Supporting Long-Term Recovery
Recovery is a long-term process. It is easier to have support. By guiding you through the recovery process and connecting you with support groups, drug rehab prepares you to live a healthy life. You have many support options, no matter if you're recovering from addiction or supporting a loved-one.
A small percentage of addicts seek treatment, despite the perceived high costs. 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. According to a U.S. surgeon General report, almost 21 million Americans suffer from a substance abuse disorder. Only 10% of these people 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. Insurance can reduce the cost of rehab, which many people don't know. New laws mandate that insurance companies cover addiction and mental healthcare treatment.
How much does rehab cost?
The prices for different levels of addiction treatment vary across the nation. People suffering from severe substance use disorders may need more intensive and extended treatment. Intensive treatment tends to be more expensive than standard care.
Detox
Detoxification refers to the removal of drugs from the body. 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 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.
For 30 days of treatment, luxury rehab facilities may charge upwards to $25,000 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. For a three-month program, outpatient care can cost as much as $5,000. Outpatient care can cost up to $10,000 in some facilities.
Intensive Outpatient Rehab
Intensive Outpatient Treatment is a more complete version of outpatient services. It usually involves several appointments per week that take approximately three hours each. 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 costs approximately $350-$450 per day.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Management
The U.S. Department of Defense published a report in 2016 that estimated the cost of different opioid treatment programs.

Free Programs
Although treatment centers can be expensive, there are some that offer payment assistance and sliding fee scales. Other locations offer programs that are completely free of charge and covered 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, which have been in existence for over six decades, have helped millions of people maintain or achieve sobriety by holding regular meetings. There are some faith-based organizations that offer free treatment.
