When it comes to considering which drug rehab program to select, the cost is always one of the key factors that comes up for consideration. The following might be helpful in setting your budget for a rehab program for yourself or for a loved one.
Free programs are available in the USA through a portal site at SAMHSA. You can inquire through their website and receive recommendations for any location in your state and you can find out which ones a free of charge. Also available are low cost programs, or fees that are relative to your income level. If you or your loved one did a free program, you will have a better idea of what is offerred in this range. I have heard these programs referred to as “do it yourself drug rehab”. I think the main reference there is pointed to the fact that there is not going to be a lot of personal counseling, or anything much beyond a place to dry out and stay clean for 2, 3, or 4 weeks. The ususal protocols in these programs are meetings based, and can include receiving medication as a substitute for the drug of choice, but not all have this aspect. You will need to inquire with the specific facility intake staff to find out how each program is run.
There are moderately priced programs available as well, many of which will be covered partially or fully by your private health insurance. These programs are usually meetings based, provide satisfactory meals, clean quarters, and adequate staffing for the number of clients serviced. You might be looking at between $5K and 18K per month for these programs.
There are also some very expensive models for rehab. These are usually meetings based, have doctors on hand with prescriptions ready to write, sumptuous meals, elegant quarters, tennis courts, pools, perhaps hiking trails etc, and the staff complement will be almost always professionals with degrees after their names. Pricing can be expected to be from $20K to $60K per month or even higher. You are paying for a tastefully and professionally run facility that would compare to a health spa or recreational venue. Some find that this type of environment is more conducive to a comfortable rehab experience.
Please note: in all 3 categories of pricing, you will find GOOD or VERY GOOD programs, and AVERAGE programs, and UNSATISFACTORY programs.
