The cost of Round Rock alcohol and drug rehab depends on several factors. One of those factors is which kind of treatment you receive. Types of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction include:⁶

• Detoxification treatment
• Inpatient care
• Short-term and long-term outpatient services
• Telehealth appointments
• Ongoing counseling therapies

Aside from the type of treatment, other aspects contribute to the cost of treatment, such as:

• The amount of time you spend in treatment
• The types of amenities that are offered
• What type of insurance you have
• Whether or not the rehab offers financial assistance

Seeing high price tags may be intimidating, but free treatment options are available as well. When searching for “drug rehabs near me,” not all of the facilities you find will offer free treatment. Some require private pay or insurance coverage. To see a list of state-funded rehabs in your area, visit the government website, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and search the directory of free rehabs in Texas.⁷

You may need to prove that you are a resident of Texas or provide income information to qualify for free treatment.

Free rehabs generally do not offer luxurious amenities, such as private rooms or gourmet foods. However, free rehabs still provide quality care to help those struggling with addiction.

Health Insurance

Using insurance to pay for rehab is another option. This includes private insurance policies as well as government-funded insurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires all state-funded insurance policies, including Medicaid and Medicare, to provide coverage for addiction treatment.⁸

To qualify for Medicaid, you must be part of an eligible group, including low-income individuals, pregnant women, children, or those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI).⁹

To qualify for Medicare, you must be an American citizen over 65 years or have a qualifying disability.¹⁰

Most private insurance policies help to cover part of the costs of treatment. Call the number on the back of your insurance card to ask about your specific policy to understand what costs will be covered.

Rehab Scholarships and Sliding Scales

Many Round Rock alcohol and drug rehabs offer financial assistance for those that do not have insurance or qualify for free treatment. Ask about scholarships that may be available at your rehab center. Sliding scale fees are also sometimes available with discounted rates based on your income.

When considering whether or not you should travel to Round Rock for addiction treatment, ask yourself these questions:

• What types of treatment are offered in Round Rock?
• Do you have people in the area that can help provide you with the recovery support you need?
• What does your insurance cover?
• Would it help to attend a rehab program that is away from your own residential area for privacy reasons?
• Is the environment and climate in Round Rock a preferred place for you?

There are different types of addiction treatment programs. Some facilities offer medical detoxification, differing levels of care, and specialized services for certain population groups.

Medical Detox

Detoxification is an important first step in recovery. Unfortunately, there are often difficult physical symptoms that accompany detoxifying, which is why many centers offer medical detoxification. With the help of certain medicines, those symptoms can be alleviated, allowing you to focus on other areas of recovery.

Levels of Care

Your treatment team will most likely refer to levels of care. This refers to the level of intensity of different stages of recovery. The levels of care include:

• Inpatient care
• Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
• Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
• Standard outpatient

Inpatient treatment is the most intense level of care available since it requires an overnight stay at the facility. This gives you access to treatment staff around the clock. Both PHP and IOP also provide a high level of care, but without the overnight stay. Standard outpatient usually involves ongoing therapy sessions and may last for months or even years.

Specialized Care

Specialized care refers to services that cater to the specific needs of patients. Some common specialized programs include:

• Christian rehab and faith-based centers with services like spiritual counseling and prayer times
• Holistic approaches utilizing alternative medicines, yoga, or meditation
• Luxury centers with resort-like amenities
• Executive rehab for the working professional
• Telehealth appointments that allow for flexibility
• Dual Diagnosis which provides care for multiple conditions simultaneously
• Treatment catered to veterans, LGBTQ+, or other special populations
