Start the Journey Toward Recovery

The causes of addiction have been the subject of thousands of studies by specialists from many fields. Studies show that addiction does not have a singular cause, as each individual has a unique path, typically comprised of a combination of multiple factors. Among many others, these can include mental health issues, environmental influences, predisposition, behavioral patterns, and pharmaceutical dependency.

There are many different forms of detoxification depending on the substance of dependence and the severity of the addiction. For more comprehensive information, see our page on drug and alcohol detox.

Rehab length depends on the circumstances and severity of the addiction being treated. For individuals who have not completed an inpatient residential rehab program, the recommended length of treatment is no less than 90 days, which typically includes 30-45 days of inpatient treatment, and an equivalent, or longer period of time in a sober living environment (SLE), before returning home. This length of time is necessary to completely detox the system from drugs of abuse, receive appropriate therapy and counseling, and begin a guided process of utilizing tools and skills from rehab to remain sober, while establishing a healthy and productive lifestyle.

The term “rehabilitation” is defined as “restoring something to its original condition.” In rehab, you will be given the guidance, support, and education to help you return to living a happy, healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Our programs are structured to adapt to your specific needs to ensure that you enjoy a lasting recovery.

Many rehab facilities accept insurance, but not all insurance companies cover rehab. You’ll need to ask your carrier or you can verify your coverage with our free insurance coverage. If your insurance doesn’t cover rehab, the facility may have payment arrangements that you can work with. Some facilities offer a sliding scale payment option or other financing plans to help make the cost more manageable for you or your family.

Comprehensive rehab centers are structured to address each facet of an addict's life, which may have lead to addiction. You’ll begin with detox. After detox you will participate in group and individual counseling sessions, relapse prevention education, and aftercare planning. But, it’s not all hard work. You’ll also have time to relax and participate in various activities with other recovering addicts in the program.
