You may have some apprehension about rehab, including worrying about how much it will cost. Making the decision to seek addiction treatment is a big step on its own, so you shouldn’t need to worry about the cost.
Many health insurance companies cover addiction treatment, at least in part, but it depends on the specifics of your provider, plan, and whether the treatment center is in-network or out-of-network. Insurance companies make arrangements with certain providers to be in-network and offer lower prices for treatment and services to plan members. If you choose an out-of-network provider, you could end up paying more for addiction treatment.
If you’re uninsured or your plan doesn’t have adequate coverage, you can still get help paying. Treatment centers understand that the cost of addiction treatment can be a hardship for some, so many offer income-based fees or payment plans to make the costs easier to manage. You may find grants, scholarships, and other types of financial assistance from nonprofits or government-funded programs, including the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
