How Much Does Drug Rehab Cost?

Medically Reviewed

Choosing the right addiction treatment is essential for those facing substance use disorder. However, the cost of rehab can vary significantly based on the type of care required.

Why Addiction Treatment is Essential

Addiction treatment is a crucial part of managing and overcoming substance abuse and mental health disorders. Comprehensive treatment addresses not only the symptoms of drug addiction and alcohol addiction but also the underlying mental health issues that often accompany them. Investing in effective treatment, like the treatment programs at Serenity at Summit, can improve mental and physical well-being, helping to support lasting recovery and overall quality of life.

The Cost Spectrum of Addiction Treatment

At Serenity at Summit, with treatment centers in Union, New Jersey, and Haverhill, Massachusetts, we are committed to providing transparent information on rehab programs and treatment options to help you or your loved one access high-quality care.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Programs

The cost of rehab varies widely based on whether you select an inpatient treatment or outpatient treatment program. Serenity at Summit provides a range of options in New Jersey and Massachusetts to meet individual needs:

  • Inpatient Rehab: Inpatient rehab programs offer intensive, round-the-clock care and generally range from $5,000 to $30,000 monthly in these states. This level of care provides essential support for individuals with severe substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders.
  • Outpatient Rehab: Outpatient programs offer flexibility and typically cost between $1,000 and $10,000, depending on program intensity and duration. They can work well for those with stable home environments or those in the later stages of recovery.

Rehab Programs: A Range of Options for Every Need

At Serenity at Summit, our treatment programs include:

  • Detox: Detoxification is often the first step in addiction treatment, especially for substances like opioids and alcohol. Detox costs typically range from $500 to $1,500 per day in both New Jersey and Massachusetts, ensuring safety and comfort through medically supervised medical detox.
  • Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): PHPs in New Jersey and Massachusetts cost between $3,000 and $10,000 per month and provide intensive daytime care.
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Intensive outpatient programs range from $1,000 to $7,000, making them suitable for ongoing support or as a step-down from inpatient rehab.

Substance Abuse Intervention Costs

Professional interventions can be an effective way to help a loved one recognize the need for treatment. In Massachusetts and New Jersey, intervention costs range between $2,500 and $10,000, depending on the complexity of the case. Our treatment centers at Serenity at Summit can connect families with experienced intervention professionals.

Duration and Types of Treatment Programs

Typical Length of Stay in Rehab Facilities

The duration of treatment affects the overall cost of treatment:

  • Inpatient Programs: The length of inpatient programs typically ranges from 30 to 90 days. Longer stays are often more intensive, resulting in higher costs but can improve recovery outcomes for those with severe substance abuse issues.
  • Outpatient Care: Outpatient treatment can vary from a few weeks to several months, allowing clients to continue their daily lives while receiving support.

Financial Considerations for Seeking Treatment

Insurance Coverage and Rehab Costs

Health insurance can greatly reduce the cost of rehab. Serenity at Summit works with various insurance providers to support our clients’ needs:

  • Private Insurance: Many private insurance plans cover addiction treatment as part of their behavioral health benefits, including options like inpatient rehab and outpatient treatment. Understanding your policy, insurance coverage, and out-of-pocket expenses is essential to making informed financial decisions.
  • Medicaid and Medicare: For those eligible, Medicaid and Medicare offer support for substance abuse treatment. Serenity at Summit is happy to assist clients in understanding their benefits under these programs.

How Much Does Rehab Cost with Insurance?

Insurance can reduce the cost of treatment, although out-of-pocket costs vary based on factors like the type of treatment and any co-occurring mental health disorders. Our team at Serenity at Summit can help clients review their policies, insurance plans, and any necessary pre-authorization requirements.

Key factors influencing insurance coverage include:

  • Type of Addiction: Insurance often covers detoxification and inpatient care, particularly for opioid or alcohol substance use disorders.
  • Mental Health Needs: Co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety or depression, may increase coverage eligibility.

Free and State-Funded Options

What if You Don’t Have Insurance or Can’t Afford Rehab?

Both New Jersey and Massachusetts provide several state-funded and nonprofit resources to support those needing affordable substance abuse treatment. Serenity at Summit is happy to provide guidance on state-funded options and local nonprofit resources.

  • Massachusetts: The state offers extensive support, including grants and state-funded rehab for opioid addiction, making treatment accessible to those without private insurance.
  • New Jersey: New Jersey also supports affordable treatment options, including Medicaid coverage for addiction treatment in inpatient and outpatient care.

Cost Differences by State: Massachusetts vs. New Jersey

Massachusetts Behavioral Health Spending

Massachusetts invests heavily in behavioral health programs, particularly in response to the opioid crisis. Healthcare support, including Medicaid (MassHealth), helps residents access quality care for substance use and mental health needs. Serenity at Summit’s Haverhill location provides these critical services, particularly for opioid drug abuse.

New Jersey Behavioral Health Spending

New Jersey, facing high opioid overdose rates, supports addiction care through state-funded programs. Serenity at Summit’s Union facility provides dual diagnosis treatment for those with co-occurring disorders, supporting recovery from both mental illness and substance use.

Is Treatment Worth the Cost?

While rehab treatment may have a high price tag, untreated addiction often leads to greater expenses and adverse life impacts. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), addiction treatment reduces substance use and improves quality of life.

Investing in care at Serenity at Summit provides essential resources for recovery, helping clients regain stability and supporting mental, physical, and emotional wellness.

Additional Funding and Financial Assistance Resources

Finding Funds for Out-of-Pocket Costs

For those in need of financial support, Serenity at Summit offers several options:

  • Payment Plans: Flexible payment options and payment plans help make treatment affordable by allowing clients to spread costs over time.
  • Nonprofit Organizations: We can connect clients with local nonprofits in New Jersey and Massachusetts that provide financial assistance for rehab costs.
  • Aftercare: After primary treatment, Serenity at Summit provides aftercare resources, such as support groups and sober living resources, ensuring ongoing support for long-term recovery.
