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.

Supporting long-term recovery
Recovery is a process that takes a lifetime. It's easier to get help when you have it. 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.
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 live with an addiction every day. A U.S. surgeon général report in 2016 estimated that close to 21 million Americans suffer from substance abuse disorders. However, only 10% of these people receive substance abuse treatment.
What is the reason? The reason is partly due to the high cost of treatment. 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.
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.
What is the Cost of Rehab?
There are many levels of care at addiction centers throughout the country. Prices vary for each one. People with more severe drug use disorders are likely to require more intensive and longer-term treatment. In general, intensive care is more costly than 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 therapy, which can last between 60 to 90 minutes, may be twice the cost.
Luxury rehab centers can charge up to $25,000 per 30 days. 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
Inpatient intensive treatment is a higher-quality version of outpatient therapy. It typically includes multiple appointments per work week, lasting approximately three hours per day. For 30 days, this level of care may cost you between $3,000 to $10,000.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalizations are for patients who can return to their homes each evening after receiving intensive treatment during daytime. PHP usually costs between $350- $450 per daily.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Management
A U.S. Department of Defense report from 2016 estimated the costs of various 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 sponsored by the state often have long waiting lists.
Individuals in recovery have another option: Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous are two options. These 12-step programs have been helping people in recovery for more than 60 decades. They offer regular meetings that help them stay sober. There are also free treatment options offered by faith-based groups.
