Best Bargain Treatment Centers in the United States
By Cristina Utti
Every day people become causalities of their addictions because they thought they did not have the means to get into a residential treatment program. Statistically, the densest areas of drug abuse and addiction are low income urban areas where many people most likely started using drugs and/or alcohol to escape the depressing and harsh environments in which they live. The vicious cycle of poverty and addiction is not new. When individuals in these circumstances realize they need help, and want help, they often think that they cannot afford a quality treatment facility.
There are many drug treatment programs that are subsidized by local, state, and the federal government. Unfortunately, the problem that arises with many of these programs is because they are government funded, and free of charge or low cost to the client, they most often do not have the means to hire quality counselors and medical staff, therefore lacking vital elements of recovery therapy.
There are many programs that may be covered by insurance including detox facilities, drug and alcohol treatment centers, and sober living programs. Contact your insurance company to find out what is covered. Many facilities will take public assistance. Even if your funds are low, it is important to get into a facility that is licensed by the state in which they are located or accredited by the Joint Commission. Below are some affordable facilities.

These are just a few of the places that are available for treatment. If you or your loved one have no choice but to go to the closest and least expensive program, then by all means go. A poor quality drug treatment facility is better than continuing to abuse drugs and/or alcohol. If you have quality insurance and you're looking for a more traditional drug rehabilitation center, Great Oaks Recovery Center comes highly rated as one of the best dual diagnosis treatment centers in not just Texas, but the United States. They are located on a beautiful ranch outside of Houston, Texas and will work with almost any insurance provider, even ones that are out of network. A few of their programs include inpatient and outpatient programs, detoxification, after care and alumni groups, partial hospitalization and dual diagnosis for co-occurring disorders. They are accredited by the Joint Commission and offer free assessments.
