Quality drug treatment at an exclusive private drug rehab doesn’t come cheap. You can sometimes find less expensive drug treatment, but you will get what you pay for, and for those with private insurance or some savings, there is real value in getting the best.

California and Orange County private drug rehabs will cost upwards of $20 000 per month. A shocking amount, until you consider all that a quality private drug rehab offers.

Round the clock medical care, individual sessions with a psychiatrist and psychologist, small groups counseling, private luxury accommodations, chef prepared meals, massage, gym and recreation facilities and much more. All valuable ingredients in a quality recovery experience, all requiring trained professionals, and these professionals demand and deserve high salaries - you probably don’t want to get help at a facility that saves a buck on staffing costs!

If you have health insurance, your coverage should pay for at least half of your drug treatment expenses, and probably more. You will likely need to contribute to offset the costs, but most better rehabs will arrange for payment plans for those unable to pay upfront.

No one enjoys getting a bill each month for a few hundred dollars – but if that few hundred dollars pays for treatment that saved your life, surely it's worth every penny.

How many people claim they can’t afford this few hundred dollars a month, all the while spending many hundreds or even thousands of dollars on drugs or alcohol over the same time period?

Your health is worth it, your life is worth it.

You may be able to find lower cost care – but if you can cover that few hundred dollars a month to finance a private drug rehab, know that you will get more.

You will get luxury accommodation, and you will appreciate having a comfortable and private space to return to each night. Bunk beds are OK when you're 8, not when you're 38!

You will get private therapy. Low cost rehabs just can’t offer much individual therapy. Psychiatrists and counselors billing by the hour don’t fit in with an affordable rehab experience, yet private therapy is important, and it does help.

You will benefit from quality facilities and comprehensive programming. No one form of therapy works for everyone, and better drug rehabs can employ experts in a wide range of fields, and working out in a well equipped gym or enjoying an end of day massage can help clear your mind from the emotional traumas of intensive therapy.

You get what you pay for, and your insurance pays for half. Your health and happiness are worth it, and you need to consider yourself as worthy of a substantial investment. Drug rehab that works always makes financial sense, and if you can stay clean and sober at the end of a quality residential stay, whatever bills you're left with won’t likely equal what you’d be paying anyways to fuel an expensive drug or alcohol habit.

Get the help you need, get the help you deserve.
