The Average Costs Of Drug And Alcohol Rehab

 

Drug and alcohol abusers will often look for justifications to continue their habit. A common reason for not getting sober is the cost of rehab. The truth is that rehab can be rather expensive. However, it's still a small price to pay when your life is at risk. In the end, rehab pays for itself when you take into account the money clients save once they stop using drugs and/or alcohol. What's more, some clinics do not ask for all of the funds to be paid immediately. Some offer finance options that allow the client to pay off the money gradually over time in more affordable installments. People who would be otherwise unable to afford it might be entitled to state funded rehab.

So, how much does rehab cost? Well the price of rehab varies by country and continent. In the United States, the price of rehab has increased rapidly in recent years.  A respectable rehab facility will charge a minimum of ten thousand dollars for treatment. The most prestigious rehab facilities cost a thousand dollars per day, or more.

In Europe, the price of rehab differs quite dramatically between countries. In the UK, rehab typically costs around one thousand dollars per week. However, the most famous UK rehab facility, for example, charges close to five thousand dollars for a week. In other parts of Europe, clients can expect to pay between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars for treatment lasting four or five weeks.

In Asia, rehab is relatively cheap when compared to American and European prices. Thus increasing numbers of people now are traveling as far afield as Thailand for rehab treatment. Of course, the reasonable price is not the only benefit of undergoing rehab treatment somewhere exotic. Such locations also afford clients the opportunity to change their lives for the better in a positive, tropical, tranquil setting where they are free from all of the dramas and stresses of life at home.

State-funded rehab is a viable option for those who struggle financially, but it is problematic. The waiting lists for state-funded rehab are long. What's more, there are currently more people in need of rehab treatment than the system can cope with.

In reality, the best option is to pay for rehab. The treatment offered is generally superior. It equips the client with the tools they require to enjoy a rich, full, sober life. Clients who pay are investing in their future. Once sober, clients no longer need to find funds for their habit. Essentially then, rehab pays for itself, and in many cases saves the life of the client.
