Frequently asked questions

What to know about rehab in Allentown

Expert Insights

A new program was recently funded in Leigh County to allow some of the people incarcerated in county jails to continue receiving medication for opioid use withdrawal while they were in custody.

Access to these medications has typically been limited or non-existent in jails and prisons and the outcome has been a painful, forced withdrawal and an increase in opioid overdoses following release. Once this inhumane, dangerous and unacceptable practice of withholding medication is corrected more lives will be saved.

Cost of Rehab in Allentown

The cost of addiction treatment in Allentown depends on several factors. Some of these factors include the level of care, treatment length, whether a program is public or private and what your insurance covers.

There is a full range of costs across levels of care. Outpatient counseling is the most affordable and residential addiction treatment the most expensive because it includes 24/7 supervision.

The following costs are averages across the state. However, most people pay far less than the sticker price once insurance, Medical Assistance or a sliding fee scale is applied.

Most people don't pay these amounts for treatment out of pocket. Pennsylvania expanded Medicaid in 2015. Medical Assistance now covers the full continuum of substance use care for qualified members. Behavioral HealthChoices typically deliver these services at little or no cost. Lehigh County also funds free or low cost care for residents who qualify. Finally, scholarships and financial assistance can help pay for private programs.

Level of care: outpatient costs less than residential care or medical detox

Length of stay: 30, 60, or 90 days for residential care

Insurance: Medical Assistance and private plans lower out-of-pocket cost

Sliding scale: income-based fees and county-funded care for those who qualify

How to Pay for Rehab in Allentown

Nearly all the treatment centers in Allentown accept self payment and private insurance. Most of the centers will also bill Medical Assistance. Financial assistance and sliding-scale fees are available at several programs. The information below shows how many Allentown programs accept each type of payment.

Medicare

Medicare covers medically necessary addiction treatment that can include inpatient care, outpatient services, and counseling. Eligible older adults and people with qualifying disabilities can receive these benefits. Insurance plans often have various coverage and copays that affect your out of pocket expenses. Understanding how Medicare and private insurance can be applied to your treatment helps reduce the possibility that you receive an unexpected medical bill.

Medicaid (Medical Assistance)

Medicaid expansion covers a broad continuum of substance use care. Your customized treatment program may include detox, inpatient and outpatient care. Medication assisted treatment may be prescribed and covered using methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. The county Behavioral HealthChoices plans deliver these prescriptions. Ten Allentown programs accept Medicaid to cover addiction care. Lehigh County Drug and Alcohol is the primary route to receive publicly funded treatment.

Military Benefits

TRICARE insurance covers treatment for active-duty service members, retirees and eligible family members at two Allentown programs. Veterans can also access care through the VA. More addiction resources for veterans and military families are available throughout the region.

Insurance and Private Pay

Pennsylvania’s Act 106 and federal parity rules require that health plans provide coverage for substance use treatment as an essential health benefit. However, while your insurance may offer coverage, your deductible and network influence your cost. Verifying your insurance benefits before admission helps you understand the final cost of the program.

Levels of Care Available in Allentown

The treatment centers in Allentown cover most major levels of treatment. These types of treatment can range from medical detox and residential inpatient programs to outpatient clinics, dual diagnosis treatment and sober living homes. The information below shows how many programs in these categories are available in Allentown.

Medical detox

Medical detox is the first step you take when there is a significant physical dependence on alcohol, opioids or other substances. Programs use around the clock monitoring and medication to safely manage withdrawal before you move forward into ongoing treatment.

Inpatient and residential rehab

Inpatient rehab provides 24/7 care in a structured residential setting. This is an important step when you need medical monitoring or a break from a high-risk environment early in your recovery journey.

Outpatient treatment

Outpatient care lets you live at home and keep working or caring for your family while still attending scheduled treatment. Outpatient treatment often follows residential care as the next step in your treatment journey.

Dual diagnosis care

Dual diagnosis programs treat co-occurring disorders. These are typically mental health conditions that occur with a substance use disorder. These mental health conditions can be depression, anxiety or PTSD. The treatment is simultaneous. This usually leads to better results than treating one condition at a time.

Sober living and aftercare

Sober living homes give you structured, substance-free housing after you have left structured treatment. Ongoing aftercare helps protect your long term recovery journey. Services can include counseling, peer support, 12 Step programs and job coaching.

Specialty Programs in Allentown

Several Allentown programs tailor your treatment to specific groups and substances. The information below shows the number of programs that offer each specialty.
