Is Luxury Rehab Worth the Cost?

According to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, there are about 48.5 million people in the U.S. who are addicted to substances. Of those, 28.9 million have a problem with alcohol. Nationwide, this is a true epidemic. It can be combated in a number of ways. 

In some cases, treatment can take place in the most comfortable conditions possible. Just for this purpose there are luxury rehab centers. What they are, how they differ from ordinary rehabs, how much recovery costs in them and whether it makes sense — we will talk about all this in this article.

What is meant by Luxury rehab

Maximum comfort and an individual approach to treatment — this is a brief description of treatment at luxury rehab. It is a combination of full-fledged recreation and high-class medical care.

Differences of luxury rehab centers from ordinary ones:

• secluded picturesque location. As a rule, such clinics are located in secluded places near the ocean, forest, in the mountains, by the lake, etc.;
• comfortable suites. Patients have access to single or double rooms with private bath and everything necessary for a full rest and treatment;
• elaborate recreation areas. Swimming pool, Jacuzzi, barbecue, active games and relaxation zone — each patient will find what he/she likes best;
• individualized menu. A personal chef takes into account the wishes of each patient and develops a menu tailored to their preferences;
• fewer patients — more medical staff. This is one of the key advantages of luxury rehabs. In such clinics, people with addiction are given maximum attention 24/7. This increases the effectiveness of treatment;
• application of modern treatment techniques. Luxury rehab centers use the latest developments in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Here they successfully treat dual diagnosis, selecting individual treatment programs for each patient;
• confidentiality. Each person who sought help in such a center, can count on the fact that none of the outsiders will not know about the course of rehabilitation.

Well, of course, rehabilitation in luxury treatment centers is more expensive than in ordinary ones. This is due to the objective reasons described above.

Elite clinics are usually designed for a one-month stay, but if necessary, the time of treatment can be changed depending on the dynamics of rehabilitation. There are no restrictions at all, and the patient can stay in the rehab for as long as he or she wishes.

How much does treatment in such rehabs cost

You should not think that this is an inaccessible way to fight alcohol or drug addiction. Such rehabs are used not only by celebrities and very wealthy people. But it is quite expensive: on average, 3 times more expensive than in ordinary rehab clinics or from $30,000 to $100,000. However, prices can vary both up and down. It all depends on the list of services offered.

The good news is that some or even all of the cost of rehabilitation can be covered by insurance.

Advantages of luxury rehabs

The main advantage of elite rehabs is exclusivity and individual approach to treatment of each patient. Here, each person with addiction is given maximum time. The increased attention has a positive effect on the effectiveness of treatment. The work of the best medical staff, who have been selected to work with people who have special comfort needs, also contributes to this.

The rooms in such rehabs are like cozy hotel rooms. They have plenty of privacy and everything you need is close by, including a private bathroom.

Much attention in luxury treatment centers is paid to leisure and alternative therapies. Patients of such clinics are never bored, can attend events organized by Rehab, choose between music, massage, art and other therapies.

Is this method of drug and alcohol addiction treatment suitable for everyone? The answer is not obvious. And this is not only due to the cost of rehab. Luxury treatment centers are most effective for people who are used to a certain level of comfort. If a person who is not accustomed to luxury in ordinary life is placed here, then after the special environment in the clinic, he or she may face a harsh reality and will have to make extra efforts to stay sober. Therefore, choosing a rehab is always an individual choice.
