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 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.
Treating the Underlying Reasons for Addiction
People use substances of abuse to obtain quick highs, relieve stress, and to cope with other medical conditions. Co-occurring mental illnesses can be exacerbated by alcohol and other substances. 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. Your needs should be considered. We will work with you to design a personal treatment plan. This could include individual therapy, counseling and group therapy.
Tested 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. Being surrounded with support makes it easier. You can expect to be able to transition smoothly from treatment to recovery and introduce you into support groups. Support options are available to anyone, whether you're in treatment or supporting someone you love.
Because of the perceived high prices of addiction treatment, only a very small portion of those who need it pursue treatment. But the cost of rehab is negligible compared with the potential social and health consequences of not getting treatment. These can be prevented by seeking treatment immediately.
Millions of Americans are living with addiction every day. A 2016 U.S. surgeon general report estimated that nearly 21 million Americans have a substance abuse disorder. Only 10% receive substance abuse treatment.
What is the reason? The reason is partly due to the high cost of treatment. 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 to treat addiction is significantly lower than that of treatment. 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?
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. Intensive treatment tends to be more expensive than standard care.
Detox
Detoxification refers to the removal of drugs from the body. 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. Long-term residential services, lasting 60 to 90 days, can cost twice as much.
For 30 days, some luxury rehab facilities can charge as much as $25,000 Private treatment centers usually charge less.
Outpatient Rehab
Individuals can receive outpatient treatment while they live at home. Patients can learn to live at home and avoid the need for a hospital by attending several appointments. For a three-month program, outpatient care can cost as much as $5,000. Outpatient treatment may be available at some facilities for up to $10,000.
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. 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 typically costs between $350- $450 per hour.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Treatment
A U.S. Department of Defense report from 2016 estimated the costs of various opioid treatment programs.

Free Programs
Some facilities offer payment assistance, or sliding-fee scales. Treatment centers can be costly. Other facilities offer programs for free, funded by state taxes. These state-sponsored programs often have long wait lists.
Individuals in recovery have another option: Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous are two options. These 12-step programs have helped millions to get sobriety over the past six decades through regular meetings. Many faith-based organizations also offer free treatment options.
