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 will explain how drugs affect the body, why people use them, and how to get help for alcoholism.
The Underlying Causes of Addiction
For quick highs, stress relief or to manage other health conditions, people resort to substance abuse. Alcohol and other drugs can worsen symptoms of co-occurring disorders. We teach healthy methods to cope with negative emotions, and treat all the underlying causes.
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 will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that includes counseling, individual therapy, and group therapy.
The Proven Treatment Methods
We offer safe environments designed for you to detoxify your body from alcohol and other substances. However, detox is only the beginning. 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. You can expect to be able to transition smoothly from treatment to recovery and introduce you into support groups. There are support options available, regardless of whether you are in recovery or caring for a loved one.
A small number of people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol choose not to seek treatment due to the high price tag. However, the cost of treatment is small compared to the possible health and social consequences of not seeking it. These consequences can be prevented by getting treatment now.
Millions of Americans struggle with addiction each day. According to a U.S. surgeon General report, almost 21 million Americans suffer from a substance abuse disorder. 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. The new law requires insurance companies to cover mental health and addiction 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. Intensive treatment tends to be more expensive than standard care.
Detox
Detoxification refers to the removal of drugs from the body. Based on data from drug treatment facilities in the United States, the average cost for a 30-day detox program is $250 to $800 per person.
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 facilities may charge more than $25,000 per month for 30 days. However, most private treatment centers charge less.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient care allows patients to remain at home and receive treatment. Patients are taught how to stay drug-free by attending a series. Outpatient care is often available for as little as $5,000 per month. Outpatient care can cost up to $10,000 in some facilities.
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. For 30 days, intensive outpatient treatment costs between $3,000- $10,000.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalization is for patients who are unable to return home each night and need intensive treatment during the days. PHP is generally between $350 to $450 per day.
Medication-Assisted Opioid treatment
A U.S. Department of Defense report from 2016 estimated the costs of various opioid treatment programs.

Programs that are cost-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 state-sponsored programs often have long wait lists.
People in recovery can also turn to support groups like Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. These 12-step programs, which have been in existence for over six decades, have helped millions of people maintain or achieve sobriety by holding regular meetings. There are also free treatment options offered by faith-based groups.
