Frequently asked questions
Expert Insights
We’re used to hearing about how the Covid pandemic created a serious labor shortage in the United States. What we haven’t heard much about, however, is how addiction is creating a labor shortage on its own.
This includes a labor shortage in Augusta, Georgia. Between 9% and 26% of workforce decline between 2020 and 2022 for those between the ages of 25 and 34 is believed to be due to a rise in opioid and methamphetamine addiction. Those numbers come from a paper released by The National Bureau of Economic Research. And it makes sense if you think about it. It’s very difficult to work on a consistent basis when you’re struggling with addiction.
There are obviously times when you can’t gain access to your drug of choice, which brings on symptoms of withdrawal. And withdrawal sickness makes it nearly impossible to show up to work on time and perform at a high level. It just goes to show that addiction truly does impact nearly every facet of life, whether you initially realize it or not.
Our goal is to make it easier to compare treatment options in Augusta, not to sell a single facility. Listings are organized to surface the information that matters most when someone is choosing care: the levels of care a center provides, the payment types and insurance it accepts, and its location within Richmond County and the surrounding area.
Where possible, we prioritize facilities that hold recognized accreditation or state licensing, publish clear program details, and offer the services most requested by people searching locally, such as detox, dual diagnosis care, and medication-assisted treatment. Facility information is drawn from public records and provider listings, and we encourage you to verify current availability, licensing, and insurance directly with any center before you enroll.
Augusta is the seat of Richmond County, and the two operate together as the consolidated Augusta-Richmond County government. As the anchor of the Central Savannah River Area along the Georgia and South Carolina border, Augusta is a regional healthcare hub, shaping the local treatment picture. This directory currently lists 19 drug and alcohol rehab facilities in and around the city, spanning detox, residential, and outpatient care. You can also browse options across the state on the Georgia rehab directory.
Local publicly funded care runs largely through Serenity Behavioral Health Systems, the community service board for the Augusta area, which provides outpatient treatment, medication-assisted treatment, and co-occurring care regardless of ability to pay in many cases. Augusta University and its Medical College of Georgia add teaching-hospital resources to the region, giving people a range of addiction treatment options from public, private, and academic providers.
The area has been hit hard by synthetic opioids. The Georgia Department of Public Health has reported that fentanyl is the leading cause of death for adults ages 30 to 50 in Augusta-Richmond County, with most street pills and powders now manufactured with it.
In response, the East Central Health District runs an opioid prevention and response program out of Augusta that includes naloxone distribution, syringe services, and linkage to care. Augusta-Richmond County is among the Georgia communities receiving opioid settlement funds to expand treatment and prevention.
If you are helping someone whose use centers on pills or powders, learn the signs of fentanyl addiction and overdose risk.
City-level pricing is rarely published, so the most reliable baseline comes from statewide averages. Georgia ranks among the more affordable states for treatment, 8th nationally, with an average cost of about $55,475 for a full course of care without insurance.
The figures below are statewide averages and offer a useful starting point as you compare Augusta programs. Insurance, sliding-scale fees, and public funding usually bring the real out-of-pocket cost well below these numbers, and checking your benefits is the fastest way to see what you would actually pay. You can start by verifying your rehab benefits.
These averages cover every addiction treatment setting, including detox and residential inpatient care, which pull the number up. Most people who use outpatient treatment, medication-assisted treatment, or therapy pay far less. Several factors move the final price up or down:
Across the 19 facilities listed in Augusta, several ways of paying for treatment are available, from cash and commercial insurance to public coverage and sliding-scale fees. The counts below show how many local facilities accept each payment type.
Coverage details vary by facility and plan, so confirm specifics before you enroll. The sections below outline the main ways people in Augusta pay for care.
Most commercial health plans in Georgia cover drug and alcohol treatment, though benefit levels and networks differ. Sixteen of the facilities listed here accept private insurance, and 18 accept self-payment.
Some people choose to self-pay even when they have coverage so that an employer or insurer is not involved. Major carriers offering coverage across Georgia include:
Georgia Medicaid covers substance use treatment at facilities that accept it, and 8 of the Augusta listings do. Eligibility is based on income, age, disability, and related factors, and Georgia also runs the Pathways to Coverage program for some adults who do not qualify for traditional Medicaid.
Medicaid plans in Georgia typically include coverage for medication-assisted treatment, which pairs medications such as buprenorphine or methadone with counseling for opioid use disorder.
Medicare helps cover addiction treatment for people 65 and older and for some younger adults with qualifying disabilities. Part A applies to inpatient and hospital-based care, while Part B covers outpatient services and provider visits. Five of the Augusta facilities accept Medicare, and Medicare Advantage plans may add further coverage. Verify which parts of your plan apply before starting a program.
Augusta has a significant veteran and military community tied to nearby Fort Eisenhower, and 5 local facilities accept TRICARE. Veterans also have access to the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, which provides outpatient substance use care and medication-assisted treatment. See the free and low-cost resources section below for how to connect with veteran-specific care.
Beyond insurance, several facilities ease the financial burden of care through other means. For example, 7 offer financial assistance, 3 use sliding-scale fees tied to income, and 2 offer financing.
Serenity Behavioral Health Systems, the local community service board, may provide medication-assisted treatment at no cost for eligible clients. Grants, scholarships, and faith-based programs can also help close the gap. If cost is the main barrier, explore rehab scholarships as one possible route to funding care.
Augusta offers a full continuum of care, with 9 detox facilities, 10 inpatient programs, and 17 outpatient clinics among the local listings. The cards below show how many facilities provide each level of care.
Medical detox is often the first step when someone is physically dependent on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines. Supervised medical detox manages withdrawal safely and prepares a person for ongoing treatment. Detox alone is not a complete treatment, so it usually leads into a rehab program.
Inpatient and residential care gives people a structured, live-in setting away from everyday triggers. With 10 programs in the area, inpatient rehab suits more severe substance use or situations where a stable home environment is not available.
Partial hospitalization programs offer a middle option, with intensive daytime treatment and evenings at home. Augusta has 2 partial hospitalization programs, which can step someone down from residential care or up from standard outpatient support.
Outpatient treatment is the most widely available level here, with 17 clinics. Outpatient rehab treatment ensures that people keep working or caring for family while attending scheduled sessions, and it ranges from weekly counseling to more intensive programming.
Dual diagnosis care matters because substance use and mental health conditions often occur together. Twelve local programs treat co-occurring disorders, addressing depression, anxiety, or trauma alongside addiction so both are handled together rather than in isolation.
Many Augusta facilities tailor care to specific groups and substances. The counts below reflect how many local programs list each specialty focus.
Alcohol remains the most common focus, with 15 programs supporting people with alcohol use disorder, followed by 10 programs focused on opioid use disorder, which reflects the region's fentanyl burden.
Five programs offer LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care, and gender-specific tracks are widely available, with 11 women's and 12 men's programs. Programs for young adults and older adults round out the local options, giving families more ways to match care to a specific person's needs.
Cost and insurance should not be the reason someone goes without help. Augusta and Richmond County have public, nonprofit, and veteran-focused resources that offer free or reduced-cost support, from 24-hour crisis lines to community-run treatment. If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 988 or go to the nearest emergency room; you can also learn more about crisis and suicide prevention support.
Local data underscores why treatment access matters in Augusta. The Georgia Department of Public Health has identified fentanyl as the leading cause of death for adults ages 30 to 50 in Augusta-Richmond County, and the Richmond County Coroner's Office recorded a sharp rise in overdose deaths during the pandemic years.
County-level figures are often limited by reporting thresholds, so the numbers below combine the most recent local and statewide data available. For national context, see the latest substance use statistics.
Public health officials point to expanded naloxone access and coordinated response as factors in a recent statewide decline in opioid deaths, but fentanyl continues to drive the majority of fatal overdoses in the region. Treatment, harm reduction, and early intervention remain the strongest tools for reducing that toll in Augusta and Richmond County.
