Galesburg, IL

G Galesburg is a city of approximately 32, 195 people tucked into Knox County. Knox County offers its residents a quiet, tranquil living environment away from the noise of the big city of Chicago.

However, lurking beneath the seeming calm of the town is the sinister disease of addiction. Addiction lurks behind every nook and cranny throughout the world. People who suffer from it often are misunderstood and seen as bad people intent on hurting those closest to them.

However, that does not reflect reality. The reality of the situation is that people in the midst of addiction suffer from a disease of the mind, not a defect of the will.

When people surrender to the fact that they have an addiction, they can open themselves up to getting the life saving help necessary.

How Much Does Treatment Cost?

The price of treatment varies depending on the treatment center you plan on going to. However, most treatment centers accept major insurance providers, which will often cover the costs of treatment. Due to the recent medical knowledge about addiction, more insurance companies are opening up to the idea of providing treatment for people.

There are also scholarships and payment plans that the facilities offer to help people looking to get treatment.

How Do I Know What Type of Treatment to Choose?

Picking the right treatment center is important. You want to make sure that you pick a center that meets you where you are and provides individualized care. Some treatment centers do not provide individualized care, rather, they have a one-sized-fits-all approach, and that should serve as a red flag. You want people who are going to diagnose your needs specifically.

That said, some treatment facilities offer help for people specifically with co-occurring disorders, some facilities are faith-oriented and some cater to those with physical disabilities. If you have questions and need assistance, call us now: (866) 578-7471 .
