How much $(avg) does a month cost for inpatient treatment for alcohol/drug dependency programs?
I have finally made the long overdue decision to seek help for my addiction. Thus far, I've officially inquired about only 1 facility, after checking my insurance, they said it didn't cover much and pretty much said good luck. I know that my insurance covers up to 7,800 for IP chemical dependency, is that not a lot to work with? I don't need super fancy, but would like to find one w/ a good reputation that is also somewhat aesthetically pleasing. Are there any organizations that are able to point me in the right direction of prospective treatment centers that best suite my needs, financially and mentally. Due to the severity, AA meetings and/or OP treatment would not be enough initally. I need a complete change of environment and lifestyle. Also, I know that I've got other psychological issues to deal with and just quitting won't be enough, but am aware that it is forefront. Do they even have concurrent programs of that nature? Help, I need a treatment center match-maker!

First off, good work on recognizing the needs you have for recovery. I did admit myself briefly to a top program in my region for $350 a day and found the care inadequate. Strange tranquilizers, being shoved by nurses, etc. I was yelled at for sitting near a window for sunshine
I'm currently looking into traveling to Asia for programs. I used to live in Thailand and heard of great wellness centers. apparently nearby docs can provide Xanax and such for withdrawal.
I will come back in a bit and post a link.
I know it's not for everyone, but if you have a sense of humor and an adventurous spirit, it may be for you.
Prices are about $3000 a month plus travel.
Maybe you'll see me alky dotoxing under a tree. I'll be short, blond headed and shaking.

There are some new outpatient options, such as Prometa treatment, which is an IV treatment that stops alcohol cravings in its tracks. n addition to a complete physical assessment, the medical component of the treatment consists of the physician supervised administration of three oral and IV medications in a unique dosing method, usually in an outpatient setting. These initial treatments occur during three consecutive daily visits of about 2 hours each. Cocaine and meth patients receive a second two-day treatment approximately three weeks after the initial treatment. Also, a one-month course of non-addictive at-home prescription medications is begun after the initial treatment.* The medical component is designed to help relieve cravings and increase mental clarity, to help you abstain from drugs and alcohol and focus on your recovery.
