Expert Insights
I recently heard on the radio that there is a new housing development underway in Peoria for young adults experiencing homelessness.
It will house 16 units for youth aged 18 to 24 years old and serve children aged out of the welfare system and LGBTQ+ youth. Given those are at-risk populations for addiction, mental health disorders, and houselessness, this is a great opportunity to provide stable housing so youth learn to meet their own needs and get connected with mental health resources, like outpatient addiction treatment.
Having observed drug use in teens and the impact it can have on their well-being long-term, I think this is such a great way to ensure these youth live productive and healthy lives instead of wandering the streets or ending up in jail and forgotten about. This could make a huge difference in their lives.

Cost of Drug Rehab in Peoria
The cost of addiction treatment varies depending on a number of considerations. Your cost will differ based on the program you choose and the amenities it offers. The length of the program can affect the cost; longer-term programs cost more than shorter-term ones.
Facilities that include options for specialized treatments or luxury amenities have a higher price tag than programs with fewer luxury amenities. Travel expenses also affect overall costs.
In general, inpatient programs will be more expensive than outpatient programs. When you attend inpatient treatment, your costs include fees for housing and food, as well as counseling, medical care, and any additional activities during treatment. Outpatient programs don’t require you to live on location, so the price tag is lower.
