Detox is typically the first and highest level of care that an individual will receive when they seek the help of an addiction rehab program. Some individuals attempt to complete their detox at home, but home detox can be risky for many reasons. One of the major questions that often comes up when trying to determine whether to home detox or admit to Compass Detox is “How much does rehab cost?” To fully answer this question, there are several aspects to consider. Yet what should become clear is that if you or a loved one is struggling with a substance use disorder, there are always options for treatment, and cost shouldn’t deter anyone from reaching out.
What Is Sobriety Worth To You?
It is easy to ask how much rehab costs, but the monetary fees for treatment with Compass Detox are far from the greatest cost to consider. We would be ignorant to say that it isn’t a factor, but it is common for people to overlook the cost/benefit analysis. Have you thought about what will happen to your finances, career, and relationships if you don’t get clean and sober?
Although tens of millions of people every year struggle with a substance use disorder (an addiction to drugs or alcohol). Unfortunately, a small percentage of those individuals find the support they need to heal. For some, the reason for this is the mistaken belief the cost would be too high, or their insurance wouldn’t cover it. Any precious addiction treatment facility sees the importance of getting people the help they need as more important than mere costs. This is because the team at Compass Detox understands the true impact of addiction.
Financial Risks
Treatment is costly, but so are drugs and alcohol. Regardless of an individual’s substance use, continued use can drain a bank account for months or years. So, in reality, not getting treatment could end up being much more costly in the long run.
Career Challenges
Mind-altering substances such as alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, etc., can lead to poor decision making, communication, and overall performance. It is common for those struggling with addiction to also struggle at work. This may include calling out of work more often, missing deadlines, getting into arguments, and making mistakes. When this goes on for an extended period of time, it should not be surprised when they get fired.
Social Costs
It’s not easy to watch a loved one do things like fill their body with toxins, doctor shop, lie, cheat, and steal. One by one, an addict pushes away their friends, family, and everyone who cares about them.
In short, not going to detox and rehab could cost you your savings, your job, and your relationships. But is the price of a week or two in a detox facility worth more to you than all of these? We hope not.
What Detox Treatment Payment Covers
Whether paid for by insurance or out-of-pocket, every client at Compass detox pays for quality treatment and care. Every client at Compass detox gets medical assessments, 24/7 access to trained and certified medical professionals, a semi-private room & bathroom, all meals while in treatment, and recreational activities. Depending on their specific needs, clients may also have access to various medications. The final amount due for treatment will vary depending on the length of treatment and the exact services rendered.
Why Not Save Money & Detox at Home?
At the beginning of this article, we mentioned detoxing at home. This may be a valid option for some, but there are several health and financial risks to this option. Depending on the substance you are detoxing from, there could be serious side effects. For instance, alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be as severe as seizures and even death. In addition, if you try to detox at home, you might end up in the Emergency Room anyways. Emergency room visits could be just as costly as a medical detox facility, if not more so. So before making any decisions, think carefully about the risks associate with detox and the support you have available if you detox at home.
