Does Health Insurance Cover Alcohol or Drug Addiction Rehab?

[content-overview]Miami rehabs are a great option for those seeking an evidence based addiction treatment program with long term results. Miami is home to some of the nation’s best drug and alcohol rehab and detox facilities, making it a popular destination for those seeking treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. Whether you or someone you love is looking for a compassionate, accredited, professional rehabilitation program, let American Addiction Centers be the first step on the road to recovery.[/content-overview]
<h2>Where is Addiction Treatment Located in Miami?</h2>
Miami has over 70 rehab centers in its main city and surrounding suburbs. Whether you’re looking for treatment in the heart of Miami or the more peaceful outskirts and suburbs, there are options for everyone’s needs. American Addiction Center’s (AAC's) Recovery First rehab center is located in beautiful, serene, and always-warm Hollywood, Florida, just 30 minutes outside of Miami’s city center.
<h2>What is the Cost of Rehab in Miami?</h2>
The cost of drug and alcohol rehab varies between treatment centers, services required, and a client’s individual needs. Most rehab centers in Miami accept some form of private or state-funded insurance to ensure everyone who desires treatment is able to access it. In the state of Florida, nearly 72% of rehab facilities accept private health insurance and 63% accept Medicare and <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage/using-medicaid-to-pay-for-rehab">Medicaid</a>.1 <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/free">Free rehab</a> programs may also be available to you if you qualify.

AAC’s Recovery First location accepts many private insurance plans through Kaiser Permanente, United Healthcare, and more. If you do not have insurance, private payments and payment plans are an option. We can work with you on a manageable payment plan. Call our admissions navigators to learn more and begin the process. For those who are uninsured and low-income, the state of Florida offers state-funded rehabs.

<h2>Do Rehab Centers in Miami Treat Alcohol and Drug Addiction?</h2>
Drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers in Miami treat all forms of addiction. Miami rehabs treat people addicted to substances such as alcohol, cocaine, prescription opioids, stimulants, heroin, and other illegal opioids. Some rehabs also treat those with behavioral addictions.

In the state of Florida, the top 5 addictions people seek treatment for are:2
<ul>
 	<li class="li1">Alcohol.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Opioids (such as prescription medications or heroin).</li>
 	<li class="li1">Cocaine.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Marijuana.</li>
 	<li class="li1">Methamphetamines.</li>
</ul>
Some treatment centers in Miami may focus on treating one type of addiction or a certain population of those struggling with addiction—such as veterans—but this typically isn’t the case. More often than not, addiction treatment centers treat a wide range of populations and addictions to various types of drugs.

Many people who live with addiction also struggle with one or more mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Many rehab centers in Miami—including Recovery First in Hollywood, FL—also treat co-occurring conditions with an evidence-based, integrated approach that addresses both disorders simultaneously to help you get and stay sober.

Miami Drug and Alcohol Rehab Treatment Centers

For those who've completed treatment, the challenge of sober living looms. Should you return home? Is your old house a healthy, sober environment? The lack of a safe, secure environment can derail a person’s sobriety, no matter how motivated they are. Sober living homes and halfway houses are drug- and alcohol-free living environments for people who have completed drug and alcohol rehabilitation and want to live in a supportive environment. These houses help residents abstain from using drugs and alcohol so they can continue sober living.
<h2>The Difference Between Sober Living Homes and Halfway Houses</h2><img class="size-medium wp-image-76476 alignright" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/shutterstock_1544826638-300x200.jpg" alt="sober living home" width="300" height="200" />
The terms sober housing and halfway house are often used interchangeably. While the two are similar in many ways, they are <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2556949/">not the same thing</a>.

Halfway houses are typically designated for people who are coming out of incarceration and have undergone a drug treatment program. Other types of halfway houses are for people living with mental illness. Halfway houses often require residents to enroll in a treatment program or have recently completed a rehabilitation program while incarcerated. There is sometimes a limit to the amount of time a resident can live at a halfway house.

Sober living homes are for people who have completed inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation and are looking for continued support to stay sober. Unlike halfway houses, sober living homes typically do not require that residents have been incarcerated. Many sober living homes do not require that residents be enrolled in treatment programs while living in the home. Occasionally, sober living homes may require a resident to have a sponsor, attend meetings and counseling, and sleep at the house for a minimum number of nights per week. Sober living homes generally do not have a maximum number of days that a person can live in the home. This is largely in part because residents of sober living homes cover the cost of living themselves. Most sober living houses emphasize the use of 12-step group attendance and peer support.
<h2>What is the Cost of a Sober Living Facility?</h2>
The cost of living in a sober living home or halfway house varies, depending on where the home is located. For example, you will pay a lot more for a sober living home in Southern California than you would in rural Utah.

Sober living houses are generally not licensed or funded by the government. Rather, residents themselves pay for living expenses, including monthly rent. However, most sober living homes do not require first and last month’s rent for a deposit like a typical apartment would. Sober living residents must provide their own groceries, medications, and most have at least a part-time job.

Halfway houses may be s. This is because they serve people who have completed incarceration or are completing sentencing requirements. Incarcerated or recently released individuals must pay a halfway house fee that is generally equal to 25% of the<a href="https://famm.org/wp-content/uploads/FAQ-Halfway-House-4.24.pdf"> person’s gross income</a>. People living in halfway houses are responsible for paying for their own expenses, like groceries and healthcare.<img class="size-medium wp-image-76478 alignright" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/shutterstock_623123291-1-300x200.jpg" alt="happy person in sober living home" width="300" height="200" />
<h2>Who Should Live in a Halfway House or Sober Living Housing?</h2>
Sober living homes and halfway houses are a wonderful option for those seeking a substance-free environment. Both sober living homes and halfway houses can be incredibly helpful for people who have recently completed inpatient treatment, attended an outpatient program, or have recently ended their incarceration and need support to continue living sober. Studies show that both homes help reduce the triggers for relapse, provide peer support, and help hold residents accountable for their choices and actions in order to help them <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3057870/">live their best lives</a>, sober.

Who Benefits from Halfway and Sober Housing?

When you have a loved one with a substance use disorder, it can be both a relief and a challenging time when they enter drug and alcohol addiction treatment/rehab. You may feel helpless and confused about how to best support your loved one while they are in rehab and once they come home.

As their loved one, you are an important part of their recovery. One of the most valuable tools in recovery is the support and emotional healing individuals get from their friends and family who care about them and want to see them get and stay sober.

Here are a few things you can do when you're able to communicate with, visit, and prepare for them to come home after rehab.
<h2>Encourage Them to Stay in Treatment</h2><img class="size-medium wp-image-77852 alignright" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/shutterstock_1103094848-2-300x200.jpg" alt="how to support your loved ones during family therapy" width="300" height="200" />
When your loved one was in the midst of an active addiction, it may have been a struggle to get them to attend treatment. Once your loved one agreed to treatment, it may have felt like your hardest work was done. But in truth, your loved one will likely struggle with the decision to stay in treatment and will probably continue to need encouragement from you that they're doing the right thing. You can help them to stay committed by encouraging them and reminding them of the reasons why they are there.

If the rehab center provides family therapy, do your best to attend these sessions. This shows not only your commitment to their sobriety, but that you support and love them and care about their health and well-being through the good and bad times. It may also help you and your loved one learn to communicate better with one another, with the help of a mental health counselor familiar with addiction and the potential stress on family dynamics it can cause.
<h2>Support Your Loved Ones by Writing Them Letters</h2>
If you are able, write letters to your loved one while they are in treatment. Stay positive and supportive in these letters. It may be tempting to share the hurt, betrayal, and fear you have felt; but, your loved one needs positivity and support during this time in their recovery. Take the time to share your emotions in a positive way. Receiving mail from you while in rehab lets your loved one know that you're still there for them, still care about them, and will continue to support them when they have completed treatment.
<h2>What To Do When A Loved One Comes Home From Rehab</h2>
After your loved one has completed treatment, they will need to rebuild their life sober. There's a good chance that they will find this transition difficult and even overwhelming at times. Your support is a valuable part of their reintegration into society and their ongoing recovery. Some ways to help your loved one stay sober include:
<ul>
 	<li>Encouraging sobriety. The nature of addiction means that people cannot limit their consumption of drugs or alcohol and have "just one" drink, for example. Encourage them to stay away from all drug and alcohol use. Don't use these substances while in their presence, avoid situations where substances will be used, and let them know that abstinence is the key to recovery.</li>
 	<li>Helping them build coping skills. Stress is a part of life, and we can't avoid it. However, learning coping skills can help us get through the difficult parts of life. Be there to listen, to talk with them, and help them process stressful experiences. Remind them of coping strategies they learned while in rehab and encourage them to turn to those when life gets tough.
<img class="size-medium wp-image-77851 alignright" src="https://admin.americanaddictioncenters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/shutterstock_265620959-1-300x200.jpg" alt="Man coming home from rehab after getting support from his loved ones" width="300" height="200" /></li>
 	<li>Encouraging your loved one to attend support groups. There are many NA, AA, or other support groups available in almost every community to help those living with recovery from a substance use disorder. Many rehab centers hold alumni events. These groups are an important part of recovery, as they let your loved one know they are not alone in the struggle and have the support of others who have walked a similar path.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Finding Support for Your Loved Ones</h2>
Having a loved one with substance use disorder can be a lonely, confusing experience. Know you are not alone -- there are supports available not only for your loved one but for you, too. Look for Nar-Anon or Al-Anon meetings in your area. These meetings intended for family and friends of those living with addiction, and can provide you with information and social supports you need to help your loved one and get support for yourself, too.

How to Support Your Loved One When They Are in Addiction Treatment

[content-overview]According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 17 million adults in the United States have both a substance use disorder, such as alcohol use disorder or opioid use disorder, and a mental illness, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).1[/content-overview]

When someone meets the criteria for a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder at the same time, this is known as having a co-occurring disorder. Co-occurring disorders are sometimes referred to commonly as dual diagnoses or comorbidities.2

If left untreated, both substance use disorders and <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/co-occurring-disorders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-occurring mental health conditions</a> can worsen over time.2 Therefore, comorbidities present unique needs in a treatment setting that require careful assessment and action. With the proper treatment, comorbidity recovery is possible and sustainable.

[callout-borders]American Addiction Centers offers co-occurring disorder treatment at each of our nationwide locations and accepts a variety of health insurance plans. Call [phone] to learn more.[/callout-borders]
<h2>What Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment?</h2>
Rehab centers that work with patients with more than one disorder diagnosis are called co-occurring disorder treatment centers or <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/co-occurring-disorders/dual-diagnosis-rehab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dual-diagnosis rehab centers</a>. These treatment centers offer inpatient and outpatient rehab options as well as different types of therapies and medications proven to help people recover from their comorbidities.

Co-occurring disorder treatment— also known as dual diagnosis treatment — is comprehensive and all-encompassing addiction and mental health treatment. This type of treatment considers and addresses all the complex mental health needs of patients to improve the outcomes of their recovery and support them in their journey to long-term rehabilitation.3

There are a variety of promising behavioral therapies for adults and adolescents with comorbid disorders. These behavioral therapies include:3
<ul>
 	<li>Multi-systemic therapy (MST).</li>
 	<li>Brief strategic family therapy (BSFT).</li>
 	<li><a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/therapy-treatment/cognitive-behavioral-therapy">Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)</a>.</li>
 	<li>Therapeutic communities (TCs).</li>
 	<li>Assertive community treatment (ACT).</li>
 	<li>Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).</li>
 	<li>Exposure therapy.</li>
 	<li>Integrated group therapy (IGT).</li>
</ul>
The type of treatment that someone receives at a co-occurring disorder rehab center will depend on their specific struggles and treatment needs. Most co-occurring disorder rehab centers provide individualized treatment plans to help people get the help they need for their specific situations.

[callout]
<h2>Does Insurance Cover Dual Diagnosis Treatments in Rehab</h2>
Health insurance policies usually cover some, if not all, of the costs of co-occurring disorder treatment and consider addiction and mental health treatment to warrant essential benefits. The level of <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage">treatment coverage</a> that an insurance plan provides for a member depends on whether someone chooses an in-network treatment center.4

There are many co-occurring disorder rehab treatment centers that work directly with insurance companies to help patients cover the costs of the treatment they need.

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), mental and behavioral health services are considered essential health benefits that insurance carriers must offer to plan holders.4 This means that all health insurance companies must provide at least partial coverage for:4
<ul>
 	<li>Behavioral health treatment (e.g., counseling, psychotherapy).</li>
 	<li>Inpatient services/treatment for mental and behavioral health.</li>
 	<li>Substance use disorder (addiction) treatments.[/callout]</li>
</ul>
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) is a federal law that ensures that all health insurance companies provide coverage for mental health and <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/therapy-treatment">substance abuse treatments</a> in the same way that they provide coverage for medical and surgical treatments.5

While patients are guaranteed at least partial coverage for any comorbidity treatments they receive, they may be responsible for paying some out-of-pocket costs, depending on their plan, such as:6
<ul>
 	<li>This is the amount of money someone pays directly before insurance coverage kicks in to help pay for covered services.</li>
 	<li>This is the fixed price that someone pays for a covered medical service.</li>
 	<li>This is a member’s share of the costs of any covered health care services/treatments (e.g., 20%).</li>
</ul>
Exactly which co-occurring mental health condition treatments an insurance company covers and how much of the treatment they cover will depend on the specific health plan that a person has. The amount someone pays for their deductible, coinsurance, and copays also depend on their specific health insurance plan as well as the type of treatment center they choose to attend.

Call the number on the back of your insurance card to ask a customer service representative for details about what your plan covers for dual diagnosis treatments. Or, check to see whether American Addiction Centers accepts your insurance at any of our co-occurring disorder treatment programs by filling out the verification of benefits form below.

[ssvob]
<h2>Which Programs Are Covered by Insurance?</h2>
Rehab centers that provide treatments for people with co-occurring disorders offer a wide variety of treatment options to ensure that every person can receive the treatment they need for their unique needs and situation.

Reputable treatment centers that treat comorbidities use evidence-based, integrated treatment programs to address substance use disorders and mental health disorders at the same time.

Depending on the specific insurance plan that someone has, the following co-occurring disorder treatments may be at least partially covered by their insurance:7
<ul>
 	<li>During drug or alcohol detoxification, someone endures withdrawal as their body adjusts to not using the drug (or drugs) of their choice. Medications may be used to help keep patients safe and comfortable before transitioning to the next phase of care (e.g., inpatient rehab).</li>
 	<li>Different types of therapies are offered (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy) both individually and in group settings to address mental health disorder symptoms, recognize triggers for substance misuse, and encourage a change to more positive, healthy behavior.</li>
 	<li>Medication-assisted treatment options involve the use of prescription medications to reduce the symptoms of mental health conditions, control the addiction, and treat any mental health disorders.</li>
 	<li>Provided by health professionals and peer support specialists, education helps people with co-occurring disorders understand how addiction and mental health struggles contribute to each other and can affect their behaviors.</li>
</ul>
Patients can receive and participate in these treatment modalities in <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/inpatient">inpatient (residential) rehab centers</a>, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, outpatient rehab centers, acute medical care facilities, and therapeutic communities.7

The treatment someone receives should be individualized and address the full breadth of their needs, including their gender, race, age, life circumstances, symptoms, the severity of their substance use disorder, risk of suicide, and trauma history.

A member’s specific insurance coverage for co-occurring disorder treatments will depend on the health insurance plan they possess.
<h2>Medicaid Coverage for Dual Diagnosis Treatment</h2>
Nearly 78 million people possess health insurance coverage through <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage/using-medicaid-to-pay-for-rehab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Medicaid</a> in the United States.8 In fact, Medicaid is the largest payer for mental health services, including substance use disorder services, in the country.9 The government-funded program provides health coverage for low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities.8

Medicaid plans typically cover all or part of the cost of the following services:10
<ul>
 	<li>Initial screening (to determine a patient’s needs &amp; best types of treatment options).</li>
 	<li>Medications for managing cravings and withdrawal.</li>
 	<li>Family counseling.</li>
 	<li>Individual counseling.</li>
 	<li>Inpatient rehab.</li>
 	<li>Long-term residential treatment.</li>
 	<li>Detox.</li>
 	<li>Outpatient rehab.</li>
 	<li>Other mental health services.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Medicare Coverage for Dual Diagnosis Treatment</h2>
<a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/medicare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Medicare</a> is a federal health insurance program for people who are 65 years or older and younger people with disabilities.11 Medicare members have insurance coverage options, and each plan varies in terms of its monthly cost (premium) and level of coverage for various treatments.11

Medicare will cover certain screenings, treatments, and programs for their members to support their recovery from mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Medicare provides at least partial coverage for the following co-occurring disorder treatments and services, including:12
<ul>
 	<li>Screenings.</li>
 	<li>Behavioral health integration services.</li>
 	<li>Counseling.</li>
 	<li>Inpatient (residential) rehab facilities.</li>
 	<li>Outpatient rehab programs.</li>
 	<li>Partial hospitalization programs.</li>
 	<li>Opioid use disorder treatment services.</li>
 	<li>Telehealth.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What If I Have No Insurance?</h2>
Seeking treatment for co-occurring disorders is one of the best investments that a person can make for their health and wellbeing. Even if someone doesn’t have health insurance, there are other ways for them to receive treatment.

The following options may help someone pay for co-occurring disorder treatments, including:
<ul>
 	<li>Private payments. If someone has the financial ability, they can usually pay the treatment center directly with cash (or credit card).</li>
 	<li>Financing and payment plans. Most rehab centers offer payment plans that allow patients to pay back the costs of treatment over time. Many rehab centers provide financing options, such as lower monthly payments. Most facilities are flexible and happy to work with patients to help them receive the treatment they need.</li>
 	<li>Scholarships and grants. Scholarships and grant programs are offered by state governments, some rehab centers, and private not-for-profit organizations to help people go to rehab without worrying about financial hardship.</li>
 	<li>State-funded rehab centers. <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/state-funded" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State-funded treatment centers</a> are funded by the government to help support people who are struggling with addiction and/or mental health conditions.</li>
</ul>
Don’t let the cost of treatment prevent you from getting the help you need. Remember: an investment in co-occurring disorder treatments is one of the best decisions you can make for your health, quality of life, and longevity. Treatment works and it saves lives.

Does Insurance Cover Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Rehab?

Addiction & Substance Use Organizations

<h2>Where Is Rehab Located in Worcester?</h2>
There are 440 detox centers, rehab facilities, and recovery programs in Massachusetts.5 The city of Worcester provides local resources for individuals and their families struggling with addiction. These services include detox programs and inpatient and outpatient rehabs.6

One of these facilities is <a href="https://adcare.com/locations/adcare-hospital/?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=local" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AdCare Hospital</a>, a 114-bed facility in Worcester—with behavioral healthcare accreditation from <a href="https://www.jointcommission.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Joint Commission</a>, that provides detoxification and rehabilitation at its inpatient rehab center and <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/outpatient-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outpatient</a> treatment center.
With over 45 years of experience in helping people with substance use disorders recover, AdCare Hospital can provide you or your loved one with high-quality care and support throughout the entire recovery journey.

<h2>What Is the Cost of Rehab in Worcester?</h2>
The cost of drug and alcohol rehab programs in Worcester varies widely. Several factors impact the overall cost of addiction treatment, including:
<ul>
 	<li>The type of rehab treatment. For instance, inpatient programs, which includes housing and 24-hour care, costs more than outpatient services.</li>
 	<li>Location of the treatment facility. Inpatient programs in states with a higher cost of living, like New York, cost more.</li>
 	<li>Length of stay and range of services provided. A longer stay at a rehab center costs more.</li>
 	<li>The intensity of services rendered. Some individuals require detoxification when they enter rehab; others do not. More medical care tends to cost more.</li>
 	<li>Specific client characteristics—like individuals who are pregnant or have significant medical issues, for instance.</li>
 	<li>Cost of resources. In states where resources cost more, rehab costs more, too.</li>
 	<li>Amenities offered at the rehab center. The cost of rehab is also determined by the amenities offered by the specific treatment facility. These amenities may include chef-prepared meals, fitness centers, pools, acupuncture, massage, and more.</li>
</ul>
No matter your financial situation, there is a treatment center that can help. The opportunity to heal is accessible to anyone. Understanding the resources available can help you find a rehab center that is a good fit for your needs and budget.

<h2>Does Insurance Cover Rehab in Worcester?</h2>
Yes, health insurance plans will generally help cover the cost of treatment for substance use disorders and mental health conditions. The exact amount of coverage provided depends on the specific health plan you have. Health insurance benefits are designed to make healthcare, including rehab, accessible and affordable.

In Massachusetts, rehab facilities accept several forms of payment, including:5
<ul>
 	<li>Cash and/or self-payments, which 359 rehabs accept.</li>
 	<li>Private health insurance plans, which 351 facilities take.</li>
 	<li>Medicare, which 315 centers accept.</li>
 	<li>Medicaid, which 373 facilities take.</li>
 	<li>State-financed insurance, which 352 centers accept.</li>
 	<li>Federal military insurance, which 208 rehabs take.</li>
 	<li>A sliding scale, meaning you pay based on your income, is offered at 224 treatment centers.</li>
</ul>
It's always a good idea to check with your health insurance provider before entering rehab to understand the details of what your health plan covers for addiction treatments. Call the number on the back of your insurance card to ask about your plan’s coverage for rehab and addiction treatments. Ask about any out-of-pocket expenses you can expect, such as your deductible, copays, and coinsurance.

AdCare Hospital in Worcester accepts most types of private (non-government) insurance, Medicare, <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage/using-medicaid-to-pay-for-rehab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Medicaid</a>, <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/insurance-coverage/masshealth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Massachusetts state health care insurance</a>, and a variety of payment options, including payment plans.
<h2>Can I Go to Drug Rehab in Worcester Without Insurance?</h2>
You can go to drug rehab in Worcester without insurance. If you are unable to pay for rehab, 221 Massachusetts rehab centers provide treatment at no charge or minimal payment for those who cannot pay.5

There are several financial assistance options for those who have no health insurance coverage and need <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/free" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free rehab options</a>, low-cost drug rehab, or <a href="https://americanaddictioncenters.org/rehab-guide/state-funded" target="_blank" rel="noopener">state-funded programs</a> in Worcester, which may include:

Payment plans. Many rehabs in Worcester provide payment plan options, which give you the opportunity to pay back the costs of treatment over time. Most payments begin once you complete treatment and some offer a grace period (e.g., three months) before payments begin. This gives you the opportunity to find employment and get settled into your community before you begin your monthly payments.

Sliding scale fees. Sliding scale fees offer treatment at a cost that fits your budget. For example, the rehab may determine your final cost based on your annual income. This helps ensure that even folks with low income or no income can access the addiction treatments they need.

Self-payment. Self-payment simply means you pay for treatment without the help of private or government health insurance, scholarships, and grants. Some people pay for rehab with credit cards, personal loans, or lines of credit. Others ask family members or friends to help with costs.

Scholarships. Some Worcester drug and alcohol rehabs may offer their own scholarships to those who are unable to pay for the cost of treatment on their own. The specifics of who qualifies for the scholarships, how much the scholarship covers, and how many scholarships are awarded each year vary by program.

The City of Worcester provides a <a href="https://www.worcesterma.gov/public-health/health-topics/substance-use-disorders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">list of local services</a> and contact information for residents.
