The need for qualified alcohol rehab has never been higher. According to U.S. Government data, almost half of all those individuals who entered into a substance abuse or addiction treatment program last year did so because of a problem relating to alcohol.

And while it is obviously hard to put a price tag on good health, the reality is that medical and psychiatric treatment costs money – and alcohol rehab for recovering addicts is no different. Like any medical treatment program, the cost of an alcohol rehab program cuts across a wide spectrum. There are less expensive outpatient alcohol rehab facilities and luxurious residential treatment centers that can cost upwards of thousands of dollars per week.

How Much does Alcohol Rehab Cost?

There are as many different price points for alcohol rehab as there are types of addiction treatment facilities in the United States. Outpatient rehab (where the individual attends treatment during the day and returns home in the evening) can cost hundreds of dollars per week (with many of these programs covered by insurance). Luxury rehab can cost quite a bit more however, with the top facilities in the country reaching potential costs of several thousand dollars (or more) per month. Obviously, residential alcohol rehab programs have costs and overhead not typically associated with outpatient facilities.

Helping Offset the Cost of Alcohol Rehab

Families that have been impacted by alcoholism may find themselves in difficult financial straits. The alcoholic may have spent the family savings supporting their habit, or worse may have lost their job due to absence or poor performance related to the effects of alcohol.

For these families, the thought of paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars a week for an alcohol rehab program simply makes a difficult situation even more stressful.

Luckily, there are ways that these families can get help without sacrificing their financial stability. More and more alcohol rehab facilities are offering low-interest-rate financing to help individuals pay for treatment. In addition, many insurance carriers also cover the cost of treatment at certain facilities. (NOTE: It is important to check with the specific insurance carrier before enrolling in any alcohol rehab program).

Also, many employers who recognize the importance of the health and well-being of their staff are offering alcohol rehab reimbursement as part of their benefits package. This represents a fundamental shift in attitude from decades past, when the alcoholic would likely be fired as a result of their condition. (Although the fact that alcoholism costs companies tens of millions of dollars each year due to lost productivity and worker error may have something to with it.)
