Washington DC ranks 51st of 50 states for treatment affordability, with an average cost of $66,538 without insurance. Very few people pay that: the average is pulled up by medical detox and long residential stays, and most people use insurance or a lower-cost program.
If these numbers are what’s holding you back, that’s exactly what a call can sort out. Specialists know which Washington DC programs take your plan and which have sliding-scale or funded beds.
What changes the price
Price depends on: inpatient vs. outpatient · how long you stay · eligibility for free or reduced-cost care at government-funded or nonprofit centers · standard vs. luxury facility · your insurance and what it covers
Expert insight
“This showcases the need for long term recovery programs, even in one of the most prominent cities in the nation.”
Washington, D.C. offers so many opportunities for career growth, networking, and other ways to lead a fruitful life. However, after living in our nation’s capital for well over 20 years, I’ve seen firsthand how quickly recreational drug use can morph into severe substance abuse disorders. In my case, I witnessed that firsthand with my older brother.
Over the years, I had my ups and downs helping my brother get the addiction support and mental health care he needed in D.C.
I found that D.C. had many programs and services to help struggling addicts, many of which were run by charitable organizations, churches, or community initiatives. There was also a fair share of public resources, which were helpful during times of crisis.
A common theme I found, though, is that many services are best for short term, immediate care. I was always able to get my brother help when he needed it, but the real struggle was finding affordable long term treatment options.
When you look at the city as a whole, the overdose death rate in DC is nearly 97% higher than the national average, according to USA Facts.
Frequently asked questions
Many factors can influence your out-of-pocket costs for addiction treatment. Those factors include treatment setting, amenities offered, and the duration of the program.
Inpatient rehab typically costs more than outpatient because you live full-time at the facility. In addition, any luxury amenities offered, such as gourmet food, private rooms, and spa treatments, also add to the overall price.
Private insurance helps to keep costs down, as these plans typically cover at least some of your rehab costs when the facility is in network with your insurance plan. You can check your coverage by calling the number on the back of your insurance card or reaching out to one of our treatment support specialists.
If insurance or self-pay isn’t an option, you can explore the many free and state-funded rehab programs available in the DC area.
The District of Columbia offers the Drug Treatment Choice Program. This provides residents access to detox services, residential treatment, and outpatient treatment based on their level of need. This program includes rehabs that are covered by Medicaid or Medicare, as well as options for those without any insurance.
Other than a state-funded rehab, you can also make treatment more affordable by looking for individual rehab scholarships, choosing a rehab with a sliding scale payment plan based on your monthly income, or choosing a rehab that is covered by insurance, whether that’s Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance.
