Only a few people with addiction seek treatment because of the perceived high cost. Although rehab's cost is minimal, it is still much less than the social and health costs that could be incurred if you choose to avoid treatment. These consequences can be prevented by getting treatment now.
Millions of Americans struggle with addiction each 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? This is partly because of the cost. In fact, nearly 40% of Americans suffering from a substance-related disorder didn't seek treatment because they couldn’t afford it.
The cost to treat addiction is significantly lower than that of treatment. A lot of people are unaware that insurance can greatly reduce the cost for rehab. Insurance companies must now cover mental and addiction treatment under new laws.
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. Standard treatment is generally more expensive than intensive care.
Detox
Detox is the process by which drugs are removed from the body. It also helps to overcome withdrawal symptoms. Based on information from drug treatment facilities throughout the United States and estimates of daily costs, a 30-day detox can cost between $250 and $800.
Residential Treatment
Basic residential treatment costs between $2,000 - $20,000. It often involves assessments and round-the-clock supervision. 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 patients the freedom to live at their own homes while they receive 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
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 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.
