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
For quick highs, stress relief or to manage other health conditions, people resort to substance abuse. Co-occurring mental illnesses can be exacerbated by alcohol and other substances. We offer help for all aspects of addiction.

We offer safe environments designed for you to detoxify your body from alcohol and other substances. The treatment does not end with detox. We provide healthy coping strategies, stress reduction techniques, and skill to help you achieve success.
Supporting long-term recovery
Recovery is a process that takes a lifetime. 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. Support is available to you, regardless if you are in recovery yourself or supporting someone else.
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 negative consequences can be avoided by seeking help as soon as possible.
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% receive substance abuse treatment.
What is the reason? Costs are a major reason. Nearly 40% of Americans who had a substance abuse disorder and needed treatment in 2014 didn't attend rehab because they couldn't afford it or did not have insurance.
The cost of treatment is far less than the cost for 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?
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. Intensive treatment tends to be more expensive than standard care.
Detox
Detoxification is the process of removing drugs from the body and safely ending withdrawal. According to data from drug treatment centers across the United States, a 30-day detox program costs between $250 and $800 per day.
Residential Treatment
Basic residential treatment is estimated to cost between $2,000 and $25,000 and often includes assessments and 24-hour supervision. The cost of long-term residential treatment, which lasts between 60 and 90 day, could be twice as high.
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 patients to remain at home and receive treatment. Patients can learn to live at home and avoid the need for a hospital by attending several appointments. A three-month outpatient program can often cost around $5,000. Outpatient treatment can be as high as $10,000 at some facilities.
Intensive Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient intensive care is a more extensive form of outpatient treatment. It usually includes multiple appointments per week and lasts about three hours each 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 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.

Programs that are cost-free
Although treatment centers can be expensive, there are some that offer payment assistance and sliding fee scales. Other facilities offer programs for free, funded by state taxes. These programs, which are state sponsored, often have long waiting list.
For those in recovery, support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous can be a great option. These 12-step programs have helped millions to get sobriety over the past six decades through regular meetings. There are some faith-based organizations that offer free treatment.
