A common objection that people will bring up when considering a drug and alcohol rehab the cost of treatment.
Many times, unfortunately, insurance will not pay for inpatient drug rehab, they only want to pay for less expensive treatment. It is sad but true but one of the most effective statements can be made to insurance company is that the patient has failed at lower levels of treatment. The cost of failure is extremely high.
Simply in financial terms the cost of addiction is astronomical. With the era of $10 martinis and individual pills on the street costing between $20 and $50 for something like OxyContin and taking 5,10 or 50 a day, the cost can easily add up. What are the most effective exercises given some people who are struggling with the concept of negative consequences generated by their drug use simply sit down with a pen and paper and start totaling up the dollar cost of their addiction.
Once things like increased insurance rates for DUIs, being passed over for raises were fired from jobs, any actual cost of the alcohol or drugs are figured in, quite often the cost is in the hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.
Going to an inpatient drug rehab makes sense in many ways beyond the financial If one is serious about the recovery it only makes sense to get the most intense level of treatment for the longest amount of time at the most critical juncture of recovery, the beginning. Unfortunately, that is the time when objections are most easily raised.

The costs of drug abuse are huge in this country, both human and economic. It is ridiculous how high they are. In order to combat this, we need to regulate all of these substances and then put all of our resources into education and treatment. By doing this, we can greatly reduce the harms of drugs, and convince people by their own judgment and merits to not put these horrible things into their bodies.
