DRS recommends a comprehensive approach involving detox, residential treatment, and aftercare support. However, every situation is entirely different from the next. California Medicaid and private health insurance plans cover some of the costs associated with drug rehab.

Long Term Inpatient Rehab San Diego

The professional opinion of DRS is that long-term treatment has proven to be the most effective for rehabilitation and life-long sobriety—here are some reasons why:

• Addiction did not happen in a day. Long-term drug rehab in San Diego provides the best opportunities and time to overcome any addiction.
• Withdrawal symptoms are often ongoing. Detoxification programs are generally part of long-term facilities. More time is spent managing withdrawal.
• Some individuals have lost their homes because of drug use. Long-term residential treatment provides ample time to rebuild.

TIPS: If you feel you're going to use

• Find a peer support group: California 12-step meetings and other resources through the DRS directory.

Paying for Treatment in San Diego, California

Paying for drug and alcohol treatment in San Diego varies and depends on multiple factors. Initially, there are significant differences in costs between residential and outpatient substance use treatment. In addition, Medicaid and private health insurance also change the cost of treatment. Finally, the program length changes the cost. For example, long-term treatment generally costs more than short-term programs.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in San Diego

California Medicaid covers different forms of substance use treatment. Generally, this includes outpatient facilities, detox centers, and some residential drug rehab programs. Medicaid is designed to help families and people from low-income households. When you enter a treatment center through Medicaid, the payment is made directly to the facility.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in San Diego

Private health insurance is another option to consider when paying for drug and alcohol rehab. The extent of coverage is dependent on the health plan type. Most people with private health insurance receive it through their employer.

The insurance provider has specific criteria and provides resources within their network or out of their network. Coverage may include residential drug rehab, outpatient treatment, detox, and different forms of counseling. It is best to contact your health insurance provider or the drug rehab center directly.
