What is an Affordable Detox?
Detox centers are sometimes
much easier to locate than a rehabilitation center. The problem is most people
think that going to a medical detox facility alone is enough to get off of
drugs or alcohol permanently, but that isn't usually the case. A detoxification
program is mainly a way to become safely withdrawn from the immediate effects
of the alcohol or other drugs in a medically-monitored setting. It should not
be confused with rehabilitation.
Unfortunately detox centers charge a much higher rate on a per-day basis. It is not uncommon for thes charges to be $1,200 per day or even much more because it is under the immediate care of a physician prescribing medications. We can help you find detox centers that either cost less than the average or have healthcare financing in place to make the detoxification procedure more affordable.
An equally important, if not more, is how the detox procedure is administered. Most detox centers only wean you off the drug and use alternatives to reduce the withdrawal effects. Unfortunately many of them also send you out the door with new prescriptions, which can defeat the purpose. We try and recommend detoxification centers that focus more on helping to strengthen and revitalize the individual in addition to simply withdrawing. And, it doesn't end there, to get the residues out of the rest of the body (not just what is in the blood stream), a biophysical detoxification program is the ultimate in body cleansing.

Why Most Hospitals Won't Provide Detoxification
We get many calls from people each week who find that hospitals are turning them away for detoxification. The problem is that most hospitals aren't equipped to handle this and prefer to send people to specialty detox centers. Emergency rooms will help stabilize someone by prescribing something to keep them from going into full-blown withdrawal syndrome, but that might be about it. Their job is to keep someone alive, not treat their addiction.
Believe it or not this actually plays to your advantage financially. Hospital charges can typically be $2,000 per day or more very easily, depending on what procedures and tests are performed while you're admitted. This is also why a speciality detox center is considered more affordable.
