An Introduction to Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Millions of Americans are addicted to substances like drug and alcohol, and while the estimates vary as not all addictions go reported, there’s no denying that they are staggering. Addiction and substance abuse comes in all forms; while the specific substance that fuels the addiction can vary from person-to-person, the dependence is the same. Some Americans abuse alcohol, others are dependent upon street drugs (marijuana, cocaine, heroin etc), others still take prescription medication unlawfully, and then there are those who may be addicted not to a substance but to an action like sex. With any addiction, regardless of what is being abused, help is normally required to break the cycle of dependence.

Paying for Addiction Rehab

Addiction treatment costs are often independently funded, which means that addicts entering into rehabilitation programs pay their own way to receive the treatment that they require. Some public funding is available to assist those who require addiction help but cannot afford it. Regardless of the source of the funding, it is important to grasp the total costs before seeking help; although this knowledge should never stop an addict from receiving the drug or alcohol treatment help that they need.

In some cases, private insurance can provide assistance with the costs of drug and alcohol rehab programs. However, the most extensive coverage that they typically provide is for a 30-day treatment program only.

Costs of Addiction Rehabilitation

Inpatient addiction treatment in a rehab facility is of course one of the most costly varieties available. The specific monetary fees for rehab are dependent upon the type of addiction and the total duration that a patient needs to stay in order to be effectively treated for their addiction. Average costs for inpatient addiction rehab can range anywhere from $10,000 to $40,000. Another factor that can contribute to the total cost of the addiction treatment program is the medication required for detox. Depending upon the type of addiction and the addict’s specific status, medication may not be required or large doses may be needed to alleviate drug and alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

What Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Treatment Costs

Outpatient addiction treatment is of course less costly than inpatient programs. These are often less intensive and require recovering addicts only to participate in detox programs, if necessary and in some cases attend affordable or free public support groups for substance abusers. Methadone treatment is common for opiate addicts, like those who have abused heroin and this is often offered on an outpatient basis. The cost per addict is approximately $5,000 for the complete course of detox, not including any supplemental counselling or support services required.
