How Much Does a Drug Rehab Cost?
The privatization of health care in the United
States has become a costly expense for Americans. The price of prescription
drugs and hospital care has driven up the cost of health insurance as well,
making it all but unaffordable for a lot of people who just want basic coverage
in case of an emergency. Even if people have insurance, it doesn't mean it will
cover the cost of a long term drug rehab center because each policy is
different in terms of how much it will pay. While the cost of a drug rehab
program is definitely much less on a per-day rate than a detox center or other
hospital-type care, it doesn't mean it's cheap.
Some people think that rehab programs should be more
like shelters or charities. Unfortunately that's not the case in our country
and these centers do need to be paid somehow. Even the ones that are complete
charities still get paid by getting grants from foundations or they have
contracts to take state tax dollars. 59% of rehab programs in the country are
under the category of private non-profit. This means they offer services based
one what it costs to deliver them and do not distribute quarterly or yearly
profits. 28% of the facilities are for-profit and the rest get money from other
sources.
That being said, we have observed that the average cost for a
residential rehabilitation center is about 7K per month. Therefore, it is not
uncommon for a long term drug rehab program to cost anywhere from 15K - 45K.
There are plenty of facilities that cost more than that even on a monthly basis
and are still considered non-profit. We can help find programs that are in the
middle to lower end of that range that are very effective and still long term.
Before you get discouraged, this doesn't always have to be paid up front. Some
treatment centers offer short term payment plans and there are also other ways
of getting a medical loan over 12 months or so to make it a more
affordable drug
rehab.

We Can Help Find Effective Long Term Drug Rehabs.
Less than one quarter of the treatmetn facilities in
the nation offer long term rehabilitation services. Due to the limited number
of beds vs. the number of people needing help, this makes up for only 7% of the
total in-treatment population.
We specialize in helping people find
effective drug rehab programs that are hopefully more affordable and yet longer
term. When looking for such a program it is important to know that these types
of programs may not be available in every area and the person needed treatment
may have to travel to another state to find the right facility.
