Long-Term Drug Rehab in Connecticut
At DRS, our professional opinion is that long-term treatment has proven to be the most effective approach to recovery when it comes to drug & alcohol addiction. Here are a few reasons why:
- Remaining sober in the first weeks of treatment is important and requires a steady routine, which a long-term program can provide.
- Everyday life can be highly stressful and potentially affect the efficiency of treatment, which can be avoided by living at the facility.
- Long-term treatment in Connecticut typically lasts 30, 60, or 90 days, but depending on the needs of each person; they can last even longer.
- Residents are surrounded by individuals whose main goal is continuous sobriety which can be very helpful during the process.
Various treatment choices are available in Connecticut to those seeking out a long-term program. If you need help finding treatment for yourself or your loved one, do not hesitate to contact one of our addiction specialists.
Getting Help With Substance Use: The Basics
Paying for Treatment in Connecticut
The cost of treatment in Connecticut can range from free to quite expensive. Ultimately, this depends on whether the person has health insurance coverage and their chosen program. Often, their insurance type will determine where they search for treatment. Those without insurance may need to look for programs offering payment assistance.
Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Connecticut
When paying for treatment with Medicaid in Connecticut, one should search among the facilities that accept it. Privately-owned treatment programs usually won’t take Medicaid because it doesn’t pay their service rates. Medicaid programs are generally state-funded and thus heavily utilized in comparison. Almost 1 million people use some form of Medicaid assistance in the state, so programs can often have waiting lists.
Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in Connecticut
Private health insurance can help a person get into better treatment programs faster. But it comes with a high cost that must be paid to maintain coverage. Often private policies won’t cover major services like rehab for the first year of continuous coverage, so it’s important to investigate this before assuming it will. Private insurers may also refuse to pay for services they don’t agree with or feel are not necessary.
If someone can’t afford private health insurance but has an income too high to qualify for Medicaid, they aren’t completely stuck. Connecticut was the first state to adopt Medicaid expansion in 2010, and it continues to aid residents in affording coverage. Participating providers sell policies at discounted rates through its exchange marketplace to those with financial hardship.
The following insurers are available through Connecticut’s health insurance marketplace for 2023:
- Anthem
- ConnectiCare Benefits, Inc.
- ConnectiCare Insurance Company
Paying for Treatment when Uninsured
Even with all the assistance available in Connecticut, some people still end up paying for treatment when uninsured. This often happens because the person abusing substances has failed to obtain or maintain health insurance coverage during their addiction. Waiting to get them covered when treatment is needed is risky and should be avoided whenever possible. Usually, new policies have exclusions for major services like addiction treatment during the first year of coverage.
Instead, a better route may be the facilities that offer sliding-scale payment assistance. The person may qualify for a reduced fee based on their income. You can contact one of the treatment specialists at DRS for more information on how to pay for treatment. Or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of Drug Rehab in Connecticut
The vast majority of substance use programs in Connecticut accept Medicaid health insurance or private health plans. In addition, over half of the providers in the state offer payment options or a sliding fee scale, with some providing services at no cost for clients who cannot pay. However, it is important to note that no-cost treatment is often offered to a specific demographic who meets certain criteria.
We recommend contacting the facility being considered and asking about insurance coverage and payment options. In addition, contact your health insurance provider to find out what is covered.
