This is the first in a series of content that is set to fully detail and explain drug rehab, the steps of rehab, how it works, what to expect and how you will embark on a journey to recovery. Each individual recovery journey is slightly different but the means by which patients recover in drug rehab tend to be quite similar and they often share the same guidelines. For instance, the steps of drug rehab are typically outlined in the same manner from one program to the next and the intake process is typically much the same from one drug rehab to the next.
Your journey to sobriety will likely be an ongoing feat that takes great effort and pride on your part but it will be well worth it when you can say you have one year, two years, ten years or more in recovery from addiction—that’s what it’s all about! As with any journey, the steps that you take to sobriety will begin with small goals that lead to bigger, more pronounced benefits and goals along the way. Don’t forget to reward yourself for accomplishments and for your efforts and to keep a positive attitude.’
How Much Does Drug Rehab Cost?
You may be wondering what this will all cost for you? Drug rehab can cost as little as a couple of hundred dollars a month or as much as more than 100K per month—this all depends on the type of treatment that you choose, the facility that you go to and various other factors associated with your recovery. For the average person, many of the costs associated with drug rehab can be offset by insurance coverage and sliding fee scales that are offered at many community or public rehabilitation programs.
Should I Choose Inpatient or Outpatient Drug Rehab?
A major factor that you will need to consider before you even begin the search for local drug rehab programs that can help you is whether or not you need inpatient treatment. Your main options for treatment include inpatient rehab and outpatient rehab. Inpatient drug rehab is more costly but also more guarded, heavily monitored and more effective. If you are physically dependent on drugs, have been for quite some time or have tried other methods of drug rehab in the past, inpatient rehab is probably the best option for you.
For some, the ability to come and go as you choose is not only a luxury but a necessity. If you have young children whom you care for, you have a solid job that you cannot be away from or there are other ties that prevent you from admitting yourself into inpatient rehab, you may find that outpatient drug rehab is a more suitable choice. These programs can work but are not recommended for those who are highly physically dependent on drugs.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that you will have to do your homework before making any final decisions on drug rehab. Each program is different, the costs can differ quite significantly from one to the next and the method of treatment that is best for you may not be what you initially thought. By researching your options you can make a fully informed and more educated decision about your treatment, rehabilitation and the beginning steps along your journey to recovery.
