Cost of Rehab in Erie

Treatment costs in Erie depend heavily on the level of care you receive to address your needs. Other criteria include the length of your treatment, whether a program is public or private and what your insurance covers. The range of treatment costs begin with outpatient counseling that is the most affordable option.

Medical detox and residential care cost more because they require around the clock supervision. You typically won't pay treatment cost averages in Pennsylvania after insurance, Medical Assistance or a sliding fee scale is applied.

Pennsylvania expanded the Medicaid program in 20215. The program is called Medical Assistance and it covers substance use care when you qualify. Behavioral HealthChoices delivers these resources to the community often at little or no cost. The state and county also fund treatment if you are uninsured and treatment 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 Erie

Nearly all treatment centers in Erie accept self payment and private insurance. Most also bill Medical Assistance or Medicare. Financial assistance is very common in the local facilities. The information below shows how many Erie programs in our directory accept each payment type.

Medicare

Medicare covers medically necessary addiction treatment that can include inpatient care, outpatient services and counseling. Medicare is available for eligible older adults and people with qualifying disabilities.

Your coverage and copays vary by the plan you purchased. It helps to understand how Medicare and private insurance can be applied to your treatment expenses before you enroll.

Medicaid (Medical Assistance)

Pennsylvania's expanded Medicaid program is called Medical Assistance. It covers a range of substance use care, including detox, inpatient, outpatient and medication assisted treatment using methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone.

These services are delivered through the county Behavioral HealthChoices plans. Seventeen Erie programs accept Medical Assistance so you usually pay little or no out of pocket cost.

Military Benefits

Four Erie programs accept TRICARE for active duty service members, retirees and eligible family members. Veterans can also access care through the VA system for inpatient and outpatient treatment. 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 health plans to cover substance use treatment as an essential health benefit. Your deductible and insurance provider network shape the final treatment costs. Verifying your insurance benefits before admission into a program helps estimate your potential costs.

Levels of Care Available in Erie

The centers in Erie cover most major levels of addiction treatment. Care ranges from medical detox and residential inpatient programs to partial hospitalization, outpatient clinics, dual diagnosis treatment and sober living. The information below shows how many programs are available locally.

Medical detox

Medical detox is often your first step in your recovery journey when you have a significant physical dependence on alcohol, opioids or other substances. Medical detox programs use 24/7 monitoring and medication to manage your withdrawal safely before you continue your recovery treatment.

Inpatient and residential rehab

Inpatient rehab provides 24 hour care in a structured residential setting. This is critical to your treatment when you need medical monitoring or to begin your treatment in a protected environment away from triggers.

Partial hospitalization and outpatient

A partial hospitalization program offers intensive daytime treatment. Outpatient care is the most common level of addiction treatment in Erie. This lets you live at home and keep working or caring for your family while going to treatment sessions.

Dual diagnosis care

Fourteen local programs treat cooccurring disorders. These specialized treatment programs address a substance use disorder and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety or PTSD at the same time. This approach to care tends to work better than treating either alone.

Sober living and aftercare

Three sober living homes provide structured, substance free housing after you have left an inpatient or residential treatment program. Sober living homes allow you to continue with an ongoing aftercare program that may include counseling, 12 step program, job coaching and peer support.  These resources protect your long term recovery.

Specialty Programs in Erie

Erie programs also move beyond general addiction treatment to offer care tailored to specific groups and substances. Below is a count of programs offering each specialty.
