The cost of going to a drug or alcohol rehab center has been a significant factor in preventing many clients from seeking help.  Addiction tends to deplete all financial resources for many many people.  Finding the cash to attend a quality program once all the financial bridges have been burnt is always an interesting hurdle to say the least.

I think one of the biggest challeges in this feild is to hold the line on affordability while still giving all the tools required.  The price has to stay within the level that most families can afford.  There is lots of great rehabs out there in the $30,000 to $50,000 and higher range.  They all provide an amazing service and truly help their clients.  The problem is the vast majority of the middle class simply cannot afford this.

I think there is a lot of incredibly talented people in the drug and alcohol rehab field.  I know with this talent pool we can do amazing things for much less.  With combinations of home programs and books to control relapse, it will be possible to offer something of value to all clients.  We know we can help those with addiction move past their drug and alcohol abuse.  Now let's make sure everyone can benefit at a price they can afford.
