Quick Answers
What is addiction treatment? Addiction treatment is a continuum of medical and behavioral services that help people stop using substances and rebuild their lives. The continuum includes medical detox, residential rehab, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, standard outpatient, MAT, mutual aid, sober living, and aftercare.
How much does addiction treatment cost? With insurance, most patients pay only their deductible and coinsurance. Self-pay rates vary widely by level of care: outpatient is $1,000 to $5,000 per month; inpatient is $15,000 to $80,000 per 30 days. Verify benefits.
Does insurance cover addiction treatment? Yes. The Mental Health Parity Act requires most insurers to cover behavioral health at the same level as medical care. Major insurers — Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, Humana — all cover medically necessary addiction treatment.
How long does addiction treatment take? The clinical baseline for residential is 30 days, with 60- and 90-day programs producing better outcomes. Total active treatment engagement of 6 to 12 months consistently produces the best long-term recovery.

Types of Treatment Programs
Medical detox — 5 to 10 days of supervised withdrawal management. Essential for alcohol, opioid, and benzodiazepine dependence. Learn more.
Residential (inpatient) rehab — 30 to 90 days of 24/7 care in a treatment facility. The strongest level of care for moderate-to-severe disorder. Learn more.
Partial hospitalization (PHP) — Full days of programming without overnight stay. Often used as step-down from residential or for patients with strong home support.
Intensive outpatient (IOP) — 9 to 15 hours per week of structured programming around work and family. Suitable for mild-to-moderate disorder or as continuing care.
Standard outpatient — Weekly therapy with substance use clinician, often combined with mutual aid and MAT.
Mutual aid (AA, NA, SMART Recovery) — Free, widespread, and important across all formal treatment levels.
Sober living — Structured substance-free housing for early recovery, often combined with outpatient.
How to Choose Treatment
The right starting level depends on:
- Substance and severity. Opioid, alcohol, and benzodiazepine dependence requires medical detox. Higher severity supports inpatient.
- Home environment. Unsafe or high-trigger home supports inpatient.
- Co-occurring mental health. Active conditions support inpatient with dual diagnosis capability.
- Prior treatment history. Previous unsuccessful outpatient supports stepping up to inpatient.
- Work and family obligations. Outpatient and IOP allow continued work; inpatient does not.
- Insurance and finances. Both inpatient and outpatient are covered by major insurers.
When in doubt, start at the higher level. Stepping down is straightforward; stepping up after a relapse is harder.
