Why Rehab is Worth the Price
by Fusion 360 Studios Digital Marketing SpecialistsThe cost of addiction is high; at the least an addiction costs addicts thousands of dollars, at the most it costs a life. Drug rehab centers offer a way out for addicts who are seeking help, or for those whose friends and family have recommended they seek treatment. The cost of an extended stay in a rehabilitation facility may seem like a hefty price tag for many middle class families, but by enrolling in a rehab facility, addicts are investing in a future without drugs.
The Cost Depends on Where you Live
All rehab centers are not created equal. From celebrity sober living facilities in Malibu to blue-collar recovery centers in Fresno, Calif., there are many options available for addicts seeking help. Treatment costs in the United States can range from $5,000 to upwards of $50,000 per month. While there are some free addiction treatment options available, these facilities are typically bogged down by long waitlists and less-experienced staff.
You Get What You Pay For
Quality drug rehab treatment costs a fair amount of money. After all, trained professionals such as doctors and therapists don’t come cheap. But in the long run, the addict will certainly save money from not using drugs or alcohol, and in that way, addiction treatment will pay for itself. In addition, properly treating drug and alcohol addictions saves money for the entire country—substance abuse costs the nation over $600 billion annually, from Fresno to the Eastern Seaboard.
You Save in the Long Run
Think of drug rehab as an investment in a sober future. By learning how to effectively stay sober in the future and having a strong support system for rough times, rehab centers prepare the addict for a long life without the burdens of drug or alcohol addiction. Every day spent waiting to enroll in rehab is another day spent paying the costs of addiction. Investing in quality addiction treatment may seem like a lot of money, but it’s certainly cheaper than going to jail in Fresno.
