Nowadays, addiction to various substances is more often seen as a disease that can be helped with the right treatment. If you're struggling with an addiction, don't be afraid to ask for help!
Substance abuse treatment programs range from inpatient residential programs, some of which last weeks or even months, to outpatient programs. Regardless of the format, many use a combination of therapeutic modalities, pharmaceuticals, and complementary medicine. Some common program variations include outpatient and inpatient services, individual and group therapy, short-term and long-term care, and more. New addiction treatments are also emerging, with some of the newest including amino acid therapy, gene therapy, and other forms of individualized medicine.
To find out which treatment options are right for you or a loved one, talk to your doctor or therapist.
Some anti-addiction programs sell treatments that are ineffective or even dangerous. To find the right treatment program, prepare carefully, making sure the treatment options and locations you choose are reputable, have good reviews and testimonials, and are not more advertising than treatment.
Unfortunately, when someone is ready to treat their addiction, they have often exhausted their financial resources to the point that they can no longer afford the treatment they need. The cost of therapy can vary widely.
Here are some cost estimates for specific types of addiction treatment:
Outpatient treatment usually costs between 2000 and 3000 leva. Inpatient rehab programs often include treatment in the program cost. The cost of the treatment program also depends on which addiction is being treated.
For mild to moderate addictions, outpatient rehab programs are more affordable than inpatient programs. You'll find that many outpatient rehab programs lasting 90 days cost around $5,000, although some can cost as much as $20,000. The final cost varies depending in part on how often (and for how long) the patient visits the treatment center.
The more expensive inpatient rehabilitation usually costs around 6,000 leva for a 30-day program, with some programs charging up to 20,000 leva. If the patient needs 60 to 90 days, the final cost of treatment can be from 12,000 to 60,000 leva.
If the treatment involves complementary forms of medicine (often in alcohol and opiate addiction), the cost of the necessary drugs can dramatically increase the total cost of treatment. For example, a year of methadone treatment can cost around 5000 BGN. And after the initial treatment, ongoing visits to a psychiatrist, therapist, or social worker can be much more.
Keep in mind that treatment is often covered by medical insurance, but most insurers limit coverage to specific types. Check with your insurer's customer service department or call for help to learn what the insurance you pay for actually covers. Even with insurance, treatment can be expensive. And those without insurance are forced to pay out of pocket. Of course, there are websites that help raise funds for addiction treatment.
The cost of addiction treatment can be a serious barrier - and another reason why so many people turn to crowdfunding as a method of raising money for addiction treatment.
