Find Me a Rehab exists to provide free clinician advice to those seeking home treatment and admission to drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres in the UK, and abroad from an experienced addictions clinician.
Contact UsWhat are the differring rehab payment options?
Paying for rehab treatment is a significant commitment: We understand.
While the statutory sector does it's best, there is a very long waiting list for residential treatment and only a small number are nominated for treatment by their key worker.
Funding applications are only put forward if you adhere to your treatment plan and attend all meetings and groups.
The final say rests with the local authority.
If you choose to access private treatment cost can become a concern.
There are options: Let us take you through them.

Find Out MoreWhat is the initial outlay among different rehab payment options?
Nothing.
No centre will ask you for a deposit until they are certain they can provide the treatment you need.
Not all centres provide the same range of treatment and the centre you want to go to may not be the right fit.
Once they have conducted an initial assessment they will liase with their in-house clinician for the final say so.
If they are able to assist, an admission date will be agreed upon.
A deposit of £500 is then taken.
When do I have to pay the balance?
On the day of your admission the remaining balance is normally settled during the admissions process.
This can be done by card, credit transfer (BACS/SWIFT) or cash.
Due to money laundering legislation, there may be some forms to complete if you are paying the balance in cash.
The balance can be paid by a family member, friend, solicitor, etc.
Are there any alternatives to paying the whole balance on arrival?
Yes.
If you let the centre know, in advance, you may be able to split the payment into two, if you are staying for more than a week.
For example, if you are booking for a fortnight, you would be able to pay for the first week, on admission, then the second week at the end of the first.
If you are staying for 28 days, you can pay for fourteen days, on admission, then the second fourteen days at the end of the first fortnight.
Would I lower the cost if I pay week by week?
No.
This would work out to be very costly.
The cost for a month is simply not the same as just multiplying the cost for a week by four.
It is very common for people to book for a shorter period and then extend their stay.
This works out to be far more expensive.
While some of the more high end centres will refund you for anytime not used, most centres will not.
What happens if I leave early?
That depends if you leave of your own volition or if you are asked to leave.
When you enter residential treatment, you will be asked to sign a treatment agreement.
This will contain important information about expectations of behaviour.
If you are unable to adhere to these, following warnings, you will be asked to leave.
Some centres will allow you to return to use up the remainder of the time left you paid for after a cooling off period.
In some centres you are asked to pay a re-assessment fee of £500.
If you leave of your own volition, you can usually return, within six months, to complete your period of treatment.
A re-assessment fee may be chargeable.
What about refunds?
If you have paid a deposit and no longer want to go forward with treatment, some centres will refund this if there is a genuine reason for doing so.
Should the admission date no longer be suitable but you remain committed to treatment , you will be able to re-arrange your admission.
For some, after a few hours in rehab, they change their mind.
Some centres will issue a full refund if you make the decision to leave within 24 hours: Most won't.
Some may offer a refund for time not used if you leave early but this is the exception rather than the rule.
Wouldn't I be better off in a well known chain of private mental health hospitals for addiction treatment?
One of our clinicians undertook advanced prescribing training at the Priory Roehampton with the worlds leading expert in addiction medicine.
The cost of a month at the Priory is over £28,000
While you would have a consultant psychiatrist in charge of your care, the treatment plan and process is exactly the same as any other rehab centre:
* Detox
* Group therapy
* Relapse prevention
* Aftercare
The only difference is that you would be seen by the consultant in ward round once a week.
In a private hospital the same rules apply:
You must atttend all groups and meetings, on time. The medication you would recieve, if applicable, would be exactly the same and the nursing/support worker care would also be identical. Being in a private hospital doesn't mean any difference in the treatment process.
You are paying for a brand. If you opt for a lower cost centre the same treatment plan can be accessed for £6,950.
Still Have Questions on rehab payment options?
Call UsHow long do I need in rehab to recover from addiction?
The amount of time you will need in rehab determines the cost.
Unlike booking a holiday, the time you can book for, as a minimum, depends entirely on your clinical need.
For an example, if you are heavily dependent on alcohol and need a medication assisted detox, this will take an absolute minimum of seven to ten days.
Again, it depends on a number of factors but, usually, can not be negotiated.
Your safety is the absolute priority.
Clients who are opioid dependent, for example, will require a longer admission. Rapid detoxing is unsafe and no reputable centre would offer one.
A rapid detox puts you at very significant risk as you would leave rehab in withdrawal with no tolerance to opioids. The risk is that you would try and relieve your withdrawals with an amount of opioids you feel will settle you.
Invariably, this amount would lead to overdose.
The same applies to benzodiazpeines and a number of other substances.
Do some people need more than 28 days?
The therapy programme in recovery is a revolving process.
It doesn't mattter if you get admitted on a Monday or a Sunday.
Those who stay more than a week usually recieve a weekly session of individual therapy.
Nearly a hundred years of rehab research shows that group therapy is the most effective treatment approach.
If you think you are not the kind of person that would benefit from group therapy then you absoultely are the kind of person that will!
The reason that some people need more than 28 days is because some drug dependencies can take more than 28 days to detox from. A good example being benzodiazepines.
However, if you work with your GP/consultant, you can taper down at home and then enter into residential treatment for the final furlong.
Can I not just go "Cold Turkey?" to avoid the cost of home detox?
No.
Alcohol and/or drugs affect receptors in your brain just as prescribed medication does.
If you keep drinking/taking drugs the brain will make adjustments to try and protect itself.
This is known as tolerance.
As a result, you will need to take ever increasing amounts to have the same effect as the amount you started with.
If you stop drinking or taking drugs (or reduce too quickly) your brain simply can not adjust that quickly.
As your brain scrabbles to adjust incorrect chemical messaging occurs.
This is what causes the phyical symptoms known as withdrawal.
Without the correct medical intervention and medication you can experience an extreme medical emergency: Very quickly.
Sadly, in some cases, it can be fatal.
Forget what you see in films and on television.
Locking yourself away with some bottles of water, a bucket and a toilet roll just won't cut it.
Even if you were able to make it through the physical withdrawals, your brain will tell you what you already know: The only way to overcome the cravings is to take the substance you stopped taking.
The problem is that your brain will not be able to process the substance as it did before you stopped.
Your tolerance has gone.
You will take an amount you think you need to settle yourself but are very likely to take an accidental overdose.
Hollywood may depict paramedics administering reversal agents and people immediately waking up: This simply doesn't happen in a lost of cases.
For a lot of drugs, there is no reversal agent. Treatment consists of monitoring, oxgen and keeping your airway open then crossing fingers and hoping for the best.
Why do Find Me a Rehab want me to use a low cost centre/service?
We are clinicians and not sales people.
Our concern is that you get the most effective treatment, not the most expensive.
Unlike other referral agencies, our primary concern is not how much you spend but rather that you spend wisely and achieve the best care for the lowest cost.
Sure, if you want to access a high end centre we can certainly signpost and refer you to one.
Other referral companies are solely interested in maximising their commission which is why they want to upsell things you really don't need.
It just wouldn't sit right for us to try and get you to part with money you don't need to.
We can answer your questions on the cost of home detox as as well as signpost you to rehab.
