Alaska Long-Term Drug Rehab

Long-term treatment is often an ideal option for a person who wants to overcome addiction. Here are several reasons why this is true:

  • Long-term programs can last anywhere from 30 days to six months, ensuring the person has ample time to recover fully.
  • The length of treatment also gives them a chance to identify the destructive patterns and habits associated with their substance use problem and eliminate them.
  • Medical and psychological support can be provided 24/7, so they know help is always there when it is needed.
  • Better aftercare support can be offered once the person completes treatment to ensure they have the tools necessary to maintain their sobriety.

Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics

Paying for Treatment in Alaska

Dealing with a substance use problem can be exceptionally challenging for drug users and those closest to them. Finding a drug treatment program that fits your budget is an additional challenge that can deter some from finding drug treatment. With the help of various types of programs, recovery services are now more available than ever. As states continue to accept Medicaid expansions and programs that offer self-pay and sliding scales, patients can afford their treatment regardless of financial status.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Alaska

According to the Alaska Health Insurance Marketplace Guide 2023, in 2022, Alaska had over 22,000 residents enroll in Medicaid coverage during the open enrollment period after a few years of declining enrollment. Medicaid is designed to help those with a lower income afford the medical care they may need, including drug and alcohol abuse coverage. With the help of a Medicaid plan, patients can receive all basic drug and alcohol treatment services. The program, as well as Medicaid, can explain the coverage and which programs are covered under Medicaid.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in Alaska

Aside from Medicaid coverage, there are private health insurance plans available. These plans can cover many health insurance programs, primarily private drug rehab centers. These programs typically offer a higher level of care and quality, allowing patients more options for drug recovery. Each health insurance policy can differ from the next, so it is important to talk with your provider about your benefits and which programs are available to help you overcome the substance use problem for good.

Per the Alaska Health Insurance Marketplace Guide 2023, the following insurers are available in Alaska for 2023:

  • Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield
  • Moda Assurance

Paying for treatment when uninsured

Dealing with a substance use problem is never easy, and finding a program without insurance or finances can be even more challenging. Luckily, the state offers its residents sliding scale programs which makes the cost of the program a fee based on income rather than a set price. This can help patients enroll in treatment and help lower the rates of substance use. Regardless of how the treatment is paid for, the important thing is that some form of drug and alcohol recovery services are utilized to end the addiction immediately.

Ask a Professional

  • What would someone expect to pay for drug and alcohol treatment in Alaska?

    • The average cost of residential long-term drug rehab for one individual is $52,000. Yet this price can vary depending on the facility and your insurance.
    • The average cost of outpatient drug rehab in Alaska is $1,700, yet this can go up with lengthier programs.
    • Clinical drug and alcohol detox costs between $250 and $800 daily. In comparison, medical detox costs between $500 to $650 per day at a private facility.
    • Alaska also has low-cost and free treatment options within the state for those who qualify.
  • What is the standard length of time a person would stay at a substance use treatment center in Alaska?

    The length of time someone spends treating their addiction in Alaska varies and largely depends on individual needs. However, some of the following should be considered:

    • The average length of stay at a drug or alcohol detox center in Alaska is seven days. Yet medical detox may last 7 to 14 days or longer.
    • The average length of stay at an inpatient treatment in Alaska is 28 days. There are other long-term programs that can last 3 to 6 months.
    • The average stay at an outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in Alaska is between 12 to 18 weeks.
  • What are the most commonly abused drugs in Alaska?

    Based on treatment admissions, Alaska’s most commonly used drugs are alcohol and heroin.

    If someone you know shows signs of alcoholism or heroin addiction, it is critical to intervene. Early intervention saves lives and helps the individual accept treatment.

Addicted.org’s Evaluation of Alaska Drug Treatment

There are challenges in Alaska with accessing substance use treatment. However, when residents can access the help they need, there are affordable rehabilitation options.

The Medicaid program in the state was expanded in 2016, providing more coverage and access to life-saving substance use treatment programs. The vast majority of the programs in the state accept Medicaid for payment.

However, the downside is the long wait times at some programs and the lack of available resources because of remote communities and sparse populations. When at all possible, it is beneficial to travel to another state for help.

More Information

Michael Leach is a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, who has over 5 years of experience working in the field of addiction. He spent his career working under the board-certified Addictionologist Dr. Rohit Adi. His experience includes working with families during their loved one’s stay in treatment, helping those with substance abuse issues find treatment, and teaching life skills to patients in a recovery atmosphere. Though he has worked in many different areas of rehabilitation, the majority of his time was spent working one on one with patients who were actively withdrawing from drugs. Withdrawal and the fear of going through it is one biggest reason why an addict continues to use and can be the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process. His experience in the withdrawal atmosphere has taught him that regardless of what approach a person takes to get off drugs, there are always mental and emotional obstacles that need to be overcome. He believes having someone there to help a person through these obstacles can make all the difference during the withdrawal process.
