Substance Abuse Treatment

Substance abuse treatment is a journey, not a destination. Like diabetes or obesity, addiction is a medical illness that will always be with you - but with the proper care and attention it can be managed. There are plenty of successful athletes, doctors, and politicians who have overcome diabetes, and the same is true for those in addiction recovery.

So don't make excuses, and no matter what, don't give up. Substance abuse has likely caused serious damage to your professional and personal life, but countless addicts have regained control over their future with the help of Treatment Solutions Network. Call us today at 877-417-6237.

How does substance abuse treatment work?

It begins with the simple act of picking up a phone and speaking to one of our treatment consultants. From there, we'll match you with the right drug rehab center or alcohol rehab center. If your loved one is still resistant to entering addiction treatment, we can guide you through the intervention process, which has successfully led many addicts to recovery.

Once enrolled in a substance abuse treatment program, the client will:

Be diagnosed by trained specialists during a comprehensive intake process. This intake will identify any other issues, such as eating disorders or mental health/dual diagnosis, that must be addressed during treatment.
After the intake is complete, detox will begin. The length of the detox period, as well as the severity of withdrawal symptoms, varies depending upon the drug being abused and how long the addiction has existed for. Detox at a high-quality rehab is MUCH easier and safer than out on the streets - rehab clients are both medically supervised and also given medications to ease withdrawal symptoms.
Once the client is physically clean, the emotional and spiritual healing can begin. Both individual and group counseling sessions will be used to help the addict confront and conquer the root causes of their addiction. For example, female addicts are more likely to have developed their addiction as a way of coping with trauma or emotional pain, and women's drug rehabs specialize in treating such cases.
After the client's rehab stay is complete (all of our facilities offer a minimum 30-day substance abuse treatment program), he or she will typically be referred to support groups and other outpatient care. Attending these support groups - and asking for help when you need it - are essential ingredients in a long-term, successful relapse prevention strategy.

How much will substance abuse treatment cost?

This is frequently one of the first questions people ask when considering substance abuse treatment programs. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, however.

The cost of treatment will depend on what kind of rehab you choose, what expenses your health insurance will cover, and what payment arrangements you make for any costs that are not covered by insurance. At Treatment Solutions Network, we have a proven track record of working with a wide variety of insurance carriers, including Cigna, Aetna, and Blue Cross/Blue Shield, to name a few. No matter what your insurance coverage - even Medicare - we can and WILL find you substance abuse help. We also offer affordable self-pay options, as well as luxury drug rehab for those who desire a more high-end, private drug treatment experience.

Substance abuse treatment costs money, but doing nothing is far more expensive

Substance Abuse Treatment Vs. Incarceration. Time and again, studies have shown that the cost of treating addiction is considerably less than simply letting things snowball and get worse. To satisfy their cravings, addicts often turn to theft, drug-dealing, or other crimes - then wind up behind bars. Overdoses, meanwhile, send many addicts to local emergency rooms, with some dying in those same hospital beds.

What's your life worth to you, or the life of your loved one? Is that something that could ever be reduced to a dollar amount?

For families and society as a whole, substance abuse treatment is a life-saving choice that also saves money. In California, where the voter-approved Proposition 36 requires many nonviolent drug offenders be offered treatment instead of jail, a UCLA study found that every $1 spent on treatment resulted in a $2 savings in government spending, mainly from reduced prison costs.

In Alabama, meanwhile, a study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse found that addiction costs ate up 13 percent of the state's budget. Only a tiny fraction of that money went to prevention or treatment efforts - it was expenses like prisons, welfare and courts that strained Alabama's budget.

Kent Hunt, associate commissioner for the substance abuse services division at the Alabama Department of Mental Health, put it this way to the Birmingham News:

"Whenever I see a catastrophe happen, I ask - which one of them was drunk or high? Or was it both of them?'"
