It seems all the celebrities going to a drug and alcohol rehab center are really in the news lately.  Lot's of very famous young people are ending up in trouble seeking help.  There is always some desciption of a really plush looking place where they are spending their time.  I'm not knocking these facilities.  They look wonderful and the clients has good things to say when they leave.  The problem is on some level these rehabs give the impression is cost upwards of $30,000.00 per month for someone to go into treatment. 

While any visibility of the drug and alcohol problem is good news, it might falsely give the impression that the only way to sobriety is through a very large second mortgage.  There are drug rehab centers that offer excellent treatment at a fraction of that cost.  There are programs at the $6000.00 per month level. 

There are also a lot of state funded or non-profit centers at a very low cost.  They may not have all the bells and whistles, but they are certainly better than continuing to use.  Another way to save money is to detox close to home through your medical carrier.  By doing a detox before you go to rehab you will be able to go to a facility that won't require nurses and doctors on staff.  This will save you several thousand dollars alone.

You don't have to be rich and famous to get into trouble with drugs and alcohol, but if you listen to the news lately, it sure helps if you want treatment.
