Treatment Variables
Because there are many types of rehab programs and facilities available, there is a good possibility that you will find a payment arrangement that works for you. When you consider the cost of treatment, you need to take into account the variables that go into a program. Some of these variables include:
- The severity of your condition
- The substances you are using
- The type of program you’ll need
- How long you’ll need treatment
Other issues that affect costs include:
- Larger programs typically have lower costs per client
- If you visit more often, there will be increased costs.
- If you stay longer, there may be higher costs per episode, but the general daily costs are lower.
- Larger programs for residential and methadone treatment are connected to lower per-client costs.
Treatment Levels
When you begin a SUD recovery program, there are several levels of treatment. You might need more than one treatment level before you finish your addiction program. Depending on your particular situation, you might need to transition from an intense program to a less intense program or vice versa. A different approach is offered at each level and where you start depends on your condition. The treatment levels are:
Residential Rehab – Inpatient or residential rehab is the most intensive and provides round-the-clock monitoring while you live at the treatment center. You are provided with a safe, sober, environment so you can focus on your recovery without distractions. This is the highest level of care.
Partial Hospitalization Program – PHPs are similar to inpatient treatment, but you may go home each night. You spend 4 to 8 hours per day for at least five days per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program – More intensive than OP, intensive outpatient programs are sometimes used as a step down from residential or PHPs.
Outpatient Treatment – OPs allow you to continue to live at home full-time while receiving clinical treatment services at the treatment facility. Outpatient services are less expensive than residential or inpatient programs.
Cost Factors
Factors that influence the cost of rehab programs include health insurance plans and the intensiveness of the treatment plan that you need. The least expensive treatment centers are state-run facilities. However, they typically have longer wait times for treatment and limited treatment programs compared to privately owned facilities. In addition, the length of time you may need in treatment may double the fee.
