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.
The Underlying Causes of Addiction

Supporting long-term recovery
Recovery is a process that takes a lifetime. It is easier to have support. By guiding you through the recovery process and connecting you with support groups, drug rehab prepares you to live a healthy life. You have many support options, no matter if you're recovering from addiction or supporting a loved-one.
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 percent receive treatment for substance abuse.
Why? One reason may be due to the high costs. 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 of treatment can be far lower than the cost associated with addiction. 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.
What is the Cost of Rehab?
Each level of treatment in addiction centers across the country is different. People suffering from severe substance use disorders may need more intensive and extended treatment. Standard treatment is generally more expensive than intensive care.
Detox
Detox is the process to eliminate drugs from your body and avoid 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 can cost between $2,000 to $20,000. This includes assessments and supervision around the clock. Long-term residential care that lasts 60 to 90 days may be twice as expensive.
Luxury rehab centers can charge up to $25,000 per 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 can learn to live at home and avoid the need for a hospital by attending several appointments. 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
Intensive outpatient care is a more thorough form of outpatient healthcare. It generally involves multiple appointments per semaine that last approximately three hours each. 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 typically costs between $350- $450 per hour.
Medication-Assisted Opioid Therapy
A U.S. Department of Defense report from 2016 estimated the costs of various opioid treatment programs.

Free Programs
Although treatment centers can be expensive, there are some that offer payment assistance and sliding fee scales. Other locations offer programs that are completely free of charge and covered by state taxes. These state-sponsored programs often have long wait lists.
For those in recovery, support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous can be a great option. These 12-step programs have been helping millions of people to achieve and maintain sobriety for more than 60 years through regular meetings. There are also free treatment options offered by faith-based groups.
