Drug and alcohol addiction can lead to severe, potentially life-threatening consequences. The devastating impact of addiction can affect every aspect of your life. Your physical health, mental well-being, and relationships can suffer as addictive substances become your primary focus.
While the effects of addiction can be devastating, very few people with substance use disorder (SUD) get the help they need to begin recovery. Some studies show that less than 10% of the people needing addiction treatment ever get it.
Many barriers may prevent you from seeking treatment when you need it. For many people, concerns about paying for rehab can keep them from getting help. However, there are many ways to pay for rehab. Knowing your options can help you make the best choices for your health and well-being.
This article will explore different ways to pay for rehab.

Understanding the Cost of Rehab
No two people have the same needs during treatment and recovery. Substance abuse prevention and treatment programs occur in many settings and levels of care. This ensures people with a wide range of needs can get the help they need.
Different treatment facilities, programs, and levels of care have different fees. The cost of rehab can vary depending on a program’s length, duration, level of treatment, and other factors.
If you live with addiction and need help, your first step will be to determine which level of care is right for your needs. You may undergo a substance abuse evaluation to determine what course of treatment you require. You may choose from:
Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) or day treatment programs
Medically-supported detox programs
Outpatient rehab programs
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs)
In most cases, inpatient and residential programs are the most expensive forms of addiction treatment. During inpatient programs, people live in the treatment center while receiving intensive treatment. Outpatient programs may have lower costs because people live at home while receiving care.
Other factors, such as the amenities, programs, and location of the treatment facility, can affect the cost of treatment.
Paying for Rehab With Insurance
The 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) prevents insurance companies from denying coverage for mental health and substance abuse treatment.[1,2] If you have private health insurance through an employer or the open market, it is likely to cover treatment for addiction.
However, insurance plans can vary quite a bit–even those from the same insurance company. Before you begin treatment, you must verify the details of your specific insurance plan. You can do this in several ways, including:
Calling the number on the back of your insurance company and speaking with a representative
Exploring the details of your plan on the insurance company’s website
Contacting the Carolina Center for Recovery insurance specialists for assistance
If you need to verify insurance but are unsure of where to begin, reach out to the intake staff at the Carolina Center for Recovery. Our dedicated staff can verify your insurance plan and help you navigate your insurance coverage.
We are committed to helping our clients get the care they need. Contact us today to learn more about using insurance to pay for rehab.
If you do not have health insurance, you may be eligible to purchase a plan on the ACA health insurance marketplace. You still have options if you cannot afford private insurance or do not meet the criteria to buy it. These include:
Applying for public healthcare, such as Medicaid, Medicare, or VA insurance
Attending a low-cost or free rehab center
Attending a sliding-scale rehab center
Applying for a grant or scholarship, such as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Substance Use Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
Asking your rehab facility to create an affordable payment plan
Ask friends and family to support you
Create a crowdfunding campaign
Borrow from savings or 401K
Do not let concerns about paying for rehab keep you from getting life-saving treatment. You deserve help. Contact the Carolina Center for Recovery to learn more about paying for rehab without insurance.
