Is Insurance Accepted for Rehab?

The cost of treatment varies from facility to facility, and it can tend to be on the expensive side. Doctors, the medical staff, and the housing facility are all expenses that aren't cheap. So, while treatment may be expensive, most insurance plans will cover a portion of rehab, or possibly all of the cost, depending on your plan.

If you don't have insurance, consult the treatment facility of your choice. They may have payment plans to make treatment more affordable. Your place of employment may also cover part or all of your treatment, so consult with your human resources department.

If you still aren't able to afford treatment, look into state or county resources in California, or wherever you may live. Most states have programs that provide some form of alcohol and drug treatment for those people who can't afford it.

Traveling for treatment is a way to reduce the costs too. There may be a less expensive facility in another city or state. Cost is one of many benefits to traveling for treatment. Others include getting away from the conditions and temptations that may have made using substances more convenient. And an additional benefit is anonymity"”you will have less chance to encounter people you know if you travel for rehab in another city or state. Not knowing someone in a city or state will also make it easier to focus on your rehab. You have less opportunity for a friend to pick you up on your free time in treatment- which can create a possibility to relapse outside of treatment.

When you complete your rehab, consider joining a support group. Many recovering addicts are in support groups to help aid them in fending off the temptations to relapse. They also develop friendships, share their experiences and struggles, and meet sponsors in support groups. Sponsors are mentors who personally coach you in your path of recovery, and will be there for you when you are down. Also consider joining a 12-step program. There are many benefits to the 12-steps including becoming more aware of how abuse affects you and others, making amends to those you may have harmed with your abuse, and calling upon a higher power to help in your quest for sobriety.
