Alcohol Treatment Tips: Finding a Program You Can Afford

Good Treament Centers can be Affordable

Lake Worth 12/6/2011 12:10:00 AM

Alcohol addiction can destroy your life. In the process, it can destroy the lives of those around you. The best way to escape the darkness is through an effective alcohol treatment program. There are many quality alcohol treatment programs in the United States today that will fit your individual needs.  However, it can be very difficult to find an affordable program. 

Drug and alcohol rehab can be expensive, and cost is often the reason that many people delay seeking treatment for their addiction. The economy is in trouble and financial stress is often a contributing factor to addiction, but it should not be a reason to shy away from seeking an alcohol treatment program. First, investigate any insurance that may be available to you.  Often, the best way to do this is to call a drug and alcohol treatment center and give them your insurance information.  They can verify your benefits with your insurance company. They will then be able to tell you what your insurance covers.

Many major insurance companies now cover alcohol and drug rehab programs, viewing it as an investment that will reduce future costs. Thankfully, a growing percentage of employers across the United States will pay for alcohol treatment as well. It is important to select an alcohol treatment program that is willing to work closely with your insurance provider to ensure the maximum coverage for your stay in treatment.  If you choose the right treatment center, you may  find that the rehab is able to offer treatment at no cost to you.  This will eliminate a significant source of stress and allow you to concentrate exclusively on regaining your health and your life.

If you are sure you have no insurance available, the next step is to call your local health department.  They will be able to recommend state funded programs in your area.  These are often of good quality if you qualify for them.  There are also non-profit organizations that can help with the cost of treatment.  Again, the local health department will be able to point you in the right direction.

If there are three critical words to remember when choosing an alcohol treatment program, they are – DO YOUR RESEARCH. Finding an alcohol treatment program that meets your individual needs will take time and patience, but it will pay off immeasurably in helping you achieve a meaningful and lasting recovery from addiction. It is possible for every person with an addiction to find a drug and alcohol rehab program that is right for them.
