Expert Insights
With as much attention as fentanyl has gotten, you’d think everyone should be aware of the dangers. But teens in Elk Grove are still dying, so we clearly need to do more.
In fact, Sacramento County residents die from fentanyl overdoses at the same rate as homicides. Young people are buying pills online that they think are prescription drugs. The products are disguised as Xanax or Adderall, but they’re really just deadly doses of fentanyl.
Fortunately, families in the area are hosting education seminars to get the word out about these dangers. This is exactly what we need. Youth need to understand one pill can kill, and they won’t unless we tell them.

Cost of Drug Rehab in Elk Grove
The cost of treatment for substance use disorder can vary significantly. Your expenses will depend on the program you choose and what services and amenities are included.
Some factors that affect cost include:
Whether you attend an inpatient or outpatient program
If the facility offers extra amenities or specialized treatment options
The duration of your treatment (30, 60, or 90 days)
Whether the facility participates in your insurance plan’s network
Where the facility is located
Inpatient programs are more expensive because the cost includes more services. The facility will be providing medical care during detox as well as counseling as you continue through the program.
You will also be living at rehab full-time during care, so your expenses will include housing and meals. In addition, you may experience a loss of income since you will probably not be able to work during care.
Outpatient programs don’t include the costs of full-time residence and care, so they tend to be less expensive. You will be paying for the costs of counseling sessions, which may be covered by insurance. While attending outpatient treatment, you may be able to continue working. This will prevent any loss of income during recovery.
