Cost of Treatment

At the Neuropsychiatric Addiction Clinic, we believe everyone should have a fair chance at achieving recovery. We accept all major insurance providers, and we offer a range of financing options so that you can get the help you deserve.

If you’re worried about financing treatment at NP Addiction Clinic, please don’t let that stop you from picking up the phone. Our team is well-versed in making treatment accessible for everyone, and they will explore every avenue to make treatment an option.

How Much Does Treatment Cost?

Due to the personalized nature of our treatment, it is impossible to offer a definite figure without first reviewing your personal needs and circumstances. Different people have different needs. For this reason, every treatment we offer will be slightly different. As a general rule, outpatient treatment is more affordable than inpatient.

Please speak to one of our team if you have any queries. Once they know what you require, they can start putting together price lists and help you finalize a plan.

Paying With Insurance

Substance and alcohol addiction falls under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), so any insurance on the Health Insurance Marketplace (HIM) is obligated to cover the cost of addiction treatment. They also have to help with pre-existing conditions at no extra cost. You should be able to apply for insurance at any stage of your recovery journey.

Insurance plans not on the HIM do not have to follow these regulations. However, a large percentage of plans will mirror them. It’s always worth speaking to your insurance provider if you have any questions.

Addiction and mental illness are not moral failings – they’re medical conditions that deserve to be treated with compassion and respect. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act states that insurance providers subject to parity law must provide the exact same level of care for mental health and substance use as they would for physical health concerns.

This law applies to:

Health coverage in companies with fifty-plus employees

Any coverage that falls within a health care reform law known as the Affordable Care Act

Children’s Health Insurance Program

Most Medicaid programs

Alternative Ways of Paying for Treatment

If your insurance plan only provides partial coverage or does not cover addiction, you may be able to get support from your employer. Addiction is more common than we think, and if you’re an asset to the company, they may feel it is worth investing in your recovery.

Your employer may also be able to grant you an extended leave of absence so that you can return to your job upon completing treatment.

The Cost of Addiction

Although paying for treatment might seem daunting to some people, it is usually cheaper in the long run than funding an active addiction. A user who spends $40 a day (a very conservative amount) will spend $146,000 over ten years. It’s common for some of our clients to spend hundreds of dollars per day.

This doesn’t include the disruptions to employment, legal problems, and health issues that come with substance addiction. Nor does it include the impact on our financial health. Most importantly, addiction costs us our freedom and affects our personal relationships.

Breaking away from habitual substance use really is priceless. You cannot put a figure on the value of having healthy coping strategies, not needing to hide away from your loved ones, and emotional wellbeing.
