Admissions Process

If you are struggling with substance abuse, dependence or addiction, rehab is often the best way to maintain lifelong sobriety. Treatment requires a multi-pronged approach that addresses the addiction itself, underlying causes of substance use and triggers to use drugs or alcohol. Without rehab, it can be difficult to address all of these issues effectively.

Drug rehab costs can vary widely, depending on whether the rehab is a private or publicly-funded location, treatment type, length of treatment, and much more. Typically, costs can run from a few thousand dollars to $25,000 or more. Fortunately, health insurance often covers some or all of these costs.

Yes, most health insurance providers are required to cover substance abuse treatment as part of their plans. However, different plans can vary in what types of treatment they cover.

The average length of a rehab stay is around 35 to 45 days. However, some drug and alcohol treatment programs may take more or less time to be completed.

Several laws prevent employers from retaliating against or punishing employees who attend rehab treatment using FMLA. However, workplaces with strict drug-free policies can still terminate employees who are using substances.

The phone blackout period refers to the 72-hour period when we keep clients’ phones in a secure location. This is done to help clients acclimate to their new environment; after this period, clients can use their phones three times per week for 20-minute intervals.

Friends, family members and loved ones are allowed to mail you letters. If you receive any packages, they will be held until you leave the facility.

For most of your inpatient treatment, you will likely be living onsite without leaving the facility. As you progress to less-intensive levels of care, you will begin transitioning back into life outside of rehab.

It varies depending on your treatment program and the progress you make, but doctor appointments are usually used to monitor your progress, adjust treatment and form your recovery path. Outside of doctor visits, you will have around-the-clock access to nurses, counselors, addiction specialists and other support staff.

Returning home after rehab is when the recovery process really begins. You will be facing day-to-day life armed with helpful coping mechanisms, new ways of thinking and a body that has detoxed from drugs and alcohol. However, it’s still important to continue maintaining your commitment to recovery, which is where aftercare plays an important role.

It can be incredibly challenging at times to continue lifelong sobriety, but we make sure that you aren’t alone in your journey. Our aftercare services include individualized relapse prevention plans, routine follow-up appointments, counseling, support group access and many other resources. These programs allow clients to receive help when they’re struggling and continue their recovery with ongoing support.

An alumni program is included in our aftercare services. Those who complete treatment will gain access to a wide range of alumni resources, including support meetings, group events, phone check-ups and around-the-clock access to support helplines.

Sober living communities are places people can go after rehab to help ease back into daily life. Some have negative home environments that may damage their recovery process, while others want to take time to practice the skills they learned in rehab in a supportive, substance-free environment.
