Before you can conquer alcoholism or drug addiction, it's important to fully understand them. Every individual is affected by different factors that lead you to addiction or substance abuse. We will explain how drugs affect the body, why people use them, and how to get help for alcoholism.
Treating the Underlying Reasons for Addiction
To get a quick high, or to manage stress or other health issues, many people turn to drugs of abuse. 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. Your needs should be considered. We work with each client to create a customized treatment plan. It may include counseling, therapy in groups, or medication-assisted options.

Supporting Long-Term Recovery
Recovery is a journey that lasts a lifetime. It's easier to get help when you have it. 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 number of people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol choose not to seek treatment due to the high price tag. However, rehab costs are small in comparison to the health and social risks of avoiding treatment. 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. Only 10 percent receive treatment for substance abuse.
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. New laws mandate that insurance companies cover addiction and mental healthcare treatment.
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. In general, intensive care is more costly than standard treatment.
Detox
Detoxification is the process of removing drugs from the body and safely ending withdrawal. 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 can cost between $2,000 to $20,000. This includes assessments and supervision around the clock. 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
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. 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
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 are for patients who require intensive treatment during the day and can return to their home in the evening. PHP typically costs between $350- $450 per hour.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Therapy
The U.S. Department of Defense released a 2016 report that estimated the cost of various opioid treatment programs.

Programs that are cost-free
Even though treatment centers are expensive, many facilities offer payment assistance or sliding fees scales. 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.
