Question 1

How do I get someone into drug rehab?

Accepted Answer

Getting someone into drug rehab starts with a conversation, but there are steps you can take even if they're not ready. First, reach out to a treatment referral service like The Recovery Source at (754) 234-1450 — we can help you understand your options before you talk to your loved one. If they're willing, we can arrange assessment and admission within 24-48 hours. If they're resistant, we can advise on intervention strategies or, depending on your state, legal options like the Marchman Act (Florida) or similar involuntary assessment laws.

Question 2

Does insurance cover drug and alcohol rehab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most insurance plans are required to cover addiction treatment at the same level as other medical conditions. This includes detox, inpatient residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient programs. Medicaid covers addiction treatment in most states. The Recovery Source verifies insurance benefits for free before confirming any placement. Call (754) 234-1450.

Question 3

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient rehab?

Accepted Answer

Inpatient rehab (residential treatment) means you live at the facility 24/7, typically for 30, 60, or 90 days. It provides the most intensive level of care and removes you from your home environment. Outpatient rehab allows you to live at home while attending treatment sessions. Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are 5-6 hours per day. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are typically 3 hours per day, 3-5 days a week. The right level depends on severity of use, home environment, and history of treatment.

Question 4

How much does drug rehab cost without insurance?

Accepted Answer

Rehab costs without insurance range widely — from free (state-funded or nonprofit programs) to $1,000-$2,500 per day for luxury residential programs. Many treatment centers offer sliding scale fees based on income. State-funded programs through SAMHSA block grants are available at low or no cost. Financing options like CareCredit and Prosper Healthcare Lending are available. The Recovery Source helps identify programs that fit your financial situation — call (754) 234-1450 for free guidance.

Question 5

How long does drug rehab take?

Accepted Answer

The length of drug rehab varies by level of care and substance. Medicial detox is typically 5-10 days. Short-term residential is 28-30 days. Standard residential is 60-90 days. Research shows that longer treatment (90 days or more) leads to significantly better outcomes. After residential treatment, many people step down to PHP (4-6 weeks) then IOP (8-12 weeks). Full continuum of care from detox through outpatient can span 6-12 months.

Question 6

What is a PHP (partial hospitalization program)?

Accepted Answer

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured treatment program where patients attend 5-6 hours of therapy and clinical programming per day, typically 5 days a week, while living at home or in sober living. PHP is the level of care between inpatient residential and intensive outpatient. It's often used as a step-down after residential treatment, or as a primary level of care for those who don't need 24/7 supervision but require more than standard outpatient therapy.

Question 7

What is an IOP (intensive outpatient program)?

Accepted Answer

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) typically involves 9-15 hours of treatment per week — usually 3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week. Patients live at home or in sober living and attend group therapy, individual counseling, and psychoeducation sessions. IOP is appropriate for people with moderate substance use disorder, strong home support, or those stepping down from residential or PHP. Most insurance plans cover IOP.

Question 8

What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?

Accepted Answer

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat substance use disorders. For opioid addiction, medications include methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone (Vivitrol). For alcohol use disorder, medications include naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. MAT is supported by SAMHSA and NIDA as the gold standard for opioid use disorder treatment. It reduces cravings, prevents withdrawal, and lowers risk of relapse and overdose death.

Question 9

What if someone refuses to go to rehab?

Accepted Answer

If someone refuses treatment, you have several options. Professional intervention services can help motivate treatment-resistant individuals. The CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) approach teaches family members to positively influence their loved one. Some states have involuntary treatment laws: the Marchman Act (Florida), Casey's Law (Kentucky), and similar statutes in other states allow families to petition for a court-ordered assessment. Calling The Recovery Source at (754) 234-1450 can help you understand your specific options.

Question 10

What is a dual diagnosis treatment program?

Accepted Answer

A dual diagnosis program (also called co-occurring disorder treatment) addresses both substance use disorder and a mental health condition simultaneously. Common co-occurring conditions include depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Studies show 50% of people with substance use disorder also have a mental health condition. Treating only the addiction without addressing the underlying mental health issue significantly increases relapse risk. The Recovery Source specializes in matching people with dual diagnosis programs.
