Before you can overcome drug and alcohol addiction, you need to be able to recognize their causes. Each person is different in how they succumb to drug abuse or addiction. 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.
The Underlying Causes of Addiction
People use substances of abuse to obtain quick highs, relieve stress, and to cope with other medical conditions. Alcohol and other drugs can worsen symptoms of co-occurring disorders. We teach healthy ways of coping with unhappiness and address all underlying causes of addiction.
You need to be able to relate to the person receiving treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse. It should be customized to meet your individual needs. We work with each client to create a customized treatment plan. It may include counseling, therapy in groups, or medication-assisted options.
The Proven Treatment Methods
We provide safe environments to help you rid yourself of alcohol or other drugs. The treatment does not end with detox. To help you succeed, we teach stress-relief techniques, healthy coping strategies and other skills.
Supporting Long-Term Recovery
Recovery is a long-term process. It is easier to have support. Support groups and guidance are key to your success in drug rehab. Support is available to you, regardless if you are in recovery yourself or supporting someone else.
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 negative consequences can be avoided by seeking help as soon as possible.
Millions of Americans struggle with addiction each day. A U.S. surgeon-general report from 2016 estimates that almost 21 million Americans suffer with a substance use disorder. Only 10% of these people receive treatment for substance abuse.
Why? The reason is partly due to the high cost of treatment. A staggering 40% of Americans with a substance misuse disorder who needed treatment between 2011 and 2014 did not go to rehab because it was too expensive or they didn't have any insurance.
The cost of treatment can be far lower than the cost associated with 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.
What is the Cost of Rehab?
There are many levels of care at addiction centers throughout the country. Prices vary for each one. Patients with more severe substance abuse disorders will likely require intensive and prolonged treatment. The cost of intensive care is usually higher than that of standard treatment.
Detox
Detox is the process by which drugs are removed from the body. It also helps to overcome withdrawal symptoms. 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 care that lasts 60 to 90 days may be twice as expensive.
For 30 days, some luxury rehab facilities can charge as much as $25,000 Most private treatment centers charge much less.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient care allows people to stay at home while receiving treatment. Through a series or appointments, patients can become drug-free and live in their own homes. 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
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 type of care costs anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 for 30 consecutive days.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalizations are for patients who can return to their homes each evening after receiving intensive treatment during daytime. PHP costs approximately $350-$450 per day.
Medication-Assisted Opioid treatment
A U.S. Department of Defense 2016 report estimated the cost of various opioid addiction treatment programs.

Programs for free
Even though treatment centers are expensive, many facilities offer payment assistance or sliding fees scales. Some facilities offer programs at no cost, which are paid for 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 been helping millions of people to achieve and maintain sobriety for more than 60 years through regular meetings. You may also find free treatment from faith-based organisations.
