Inpatient

Residential Inpatient Treatment provides long-term care and recovery in a safe setting. You will stay at a Residential drug rehab for the entirety of your treatment which generally lasts around 90 days. While inpatient treatment is a longer commitment and typically more expensive form of of treatment, it is by far the best type of rehab to attend and will offer you the highest chances of getting clean and staying sober. An inpatient drug rehab has an average cost of around $40,000. Cost can vary depending on length of stay, quality of care, and location.

Outpatient

Outpatient treatment is unique because it allows you to attend therapy groups or treatment counseling during the day and then return home once completed. This can be beneficial if you have certain aspects of your life you must attend to while seeking help for alcoholism or drug addiction. While the freedom of outpatient treatment is appealing to many individuals, it also can be difficult to dedicate the focus that is required to overcome addiction. A good support group of friends or family around you that will keep you in line when not in therapy can greatly increase the success of this type of treatment. Outpatient treatment can cost around $3,000.00 on average.

Detox

First off, detox is not rehab. Many people think detox is the same as treatment, but this not true. Going to a detox is the initial step most people do before going into rehab. When coming off drugs or alcohol, most people experience withdrawal symptoms that are extremely uncomfortable or dangerous. Going to detox helps you get through these withdrawals safely, while minimizing the effects that generally occur. Detox can last anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks depending on what substances you were using. The cost will vary depending on how long you are in detox and whether it was a medical detox or drug-free.

Free/Low Cost

Financial Concerns are one of the main reasons people do not enter an alcohol and drug rehab. Many people think there is no way they can afford effective treatment because they are unable to pay for it. However, there are rehabs that will accept medicaid or offer payment assistance to help you with treatment costs. You may also look for treatment facilities that offer a sliding scale fee that adjust the cost of rehab based on your income. While these options may not be the number one choice for many, they are still more helpful than doing nothing. Getting help is always the best choice.

Counseling

Counseling or therapy is usually part of any treatment program you attend. However, many places offer counseling or therapy outside of treatment as a way to help you with any problems that can occur in everyday life that could cause you to relapse. They are offered in multiple formats such as group or individual therapy as well as family counseling. Counseling and therapy are an excellent form of aftercare planning as well.

12-Step

12-Step meetings are support groups and can be helpful for many people as a supplement to treatment. 12-step follows the specific guidelines that were outlined and originated from Alcoholics Anonymous. For some people, this is the only type of treatment they receive and for a few, it is successful. 12-Step works much better as a continued aftercare plan once you have completed treatment.

Aftercare

Most people don't even consider what to do once they complete an alcohol and drug rehab program. Setting up proper aftercare planning and learning relapse prevention techniques is important to maintaining a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. Many treatment centers will offer some type of aftercare plan for when you leave, but there are places that specialize in aftercare and relapse prevention if you need additional assistance. Aftercare can also include transitional or halfway housing if you need a place to live after you finish drug and alcohol treatment.

Common Questions About Treatment

Is Counseling The Same As Rehabilitation?

No, counseling and rehab are two different things. Understanding the nuances between these two terms might make it easier for you to know what to expect when you enroll for treatment and rehabilitation for your substance use disorder.

For the most part, rehabilitation refers to the entire process through which you go back to the state you were in before you started abusing drugs and drinking alcohol. This rehabilitation process will make you fit again by providing you with the comprehensive treatment that you need to overcome your addiction.

Counseling is a form of rehab that is mostly used to deal with the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction. Through this treatment, you will work with therapists and counselors to demystify the various thoughts and behaviors that are responsible for your substance use disorder.


Can I Go To Rehab Instead Of Jail?

If you have legal issues especially from drug-related crimes, you might be able to choose treatment instead of spending time in jail. There are 2 common options to choose rehab over jail time. These ways include drug courts and court-ordered alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Court-ordered drug rehab is usually for those who are multiple offenders or perhaps have more than one DUI as an example. If you fall into this category, the judge will offer you the choice of going to jail or joining a rehabilitation program.

On the other hand, there are special courts that handle non-violent, drug-related crimes called drug courts. Today, the United States has over 2400 of these drug courts. These drug courts must determine if your situation qualifies for rehab over jail time and sentence you accordingly.


Can I Take My Pets To Rehab With Me?

The Humane Society of the United States reports that at least 40 percent of U.S. households have one or more dogs while 33 percent have a cat or more.

If you are in such a position, you are probably worried about leaving your pet(s) behind as you seek treatment and rehabilitation services to help you overcome your substance use disorder. You may also worry that there will be no one to care for your animal once you check into a drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Today, there are many substance abuse treatment centers in Charleston that will encourage you to bring your pet if you choose their program. Finding a pet friendly rehab program may be an an option you may want to choose if you would like to take your pets with you to rehab. It allows you to move forward in your recovery while also taking care of and being with your pet.
