Philadelphia Alcohol and Drug Use Statistics

To give you an idea of the numbers of people with substance use disorder across Pennsylvania, treatment facilities reported over 45,000 people in substance rehab on a single day—March 31, 2020. More than half sought treatment for drug addiction alone. These numbers include the uninsured, underinsured, and insured in residential and outpatient treatment.¹

In all of 2019 for Philadelphia, 24,509 people with Medicaid received substance use disorder or addiction treatment, primarily in outpatient clinics.²

The number (3,081) of uninsured or underinsured people who received addiction treatment in Philadelphia in 2019 was much lower. This is due in part to nearly 100,000 people in Philadelphia becoming insured under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) beginning in 2015.

These 3,081 patients reported the following as their primary misused substance:³

1,417 misused heroin
537 misused alcohol
364 misused cocaine/crack
213 misused marijuana
127 misused prescription opioids
53 misused benzodiazepines
44 misused amphetamine or methamphetamine
326 misused an unspecified or other substance

Looking closer at opioids, the Department of Public Health found one in three Philadelphians in 2017 took prescription opioids. This included oxycodone, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, or codeine. Opioid overdoses resulted in 8,000 emergency room visits and 914 deaths in the city that year.⁴

Philadelphia County began nearing the top of US counties with unintentional overdose deaths. Thus, Philadelphia’s mayor and the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability began an aggressive campaign to help those in the city with substance use disorder or addiction.

Cost of Rehab in Philadelphia

Not treating addiction can be costly to your health, relationships, and ability to work. But what does rehab cost?

It depends on a few things:

Type of facility: Outpatient treatment is less expensive than inpatient care.
Size of the program: Large programs cost less.
Types of treatments offered: Having numerous treatment options can increase the cost of services.
Length of the program: The length of your stay can influence the price.
Amenities at the facility: Access to a gym, pool, spa or massage therapy, and dieticians can boost the cost.

For inpatient rehab centers, a 30-day stay costs between $14,000 and $27,000 and includes room and board. Outpatient treatments range from $3,000 to $10,000 for 30 days of treatment.

Pennsylvania has 604 rehab facilities as of March 31, 2020. They vary from private and for-profit to entirely free. The following figures reflect the number of facilities who offer the respective payment options:¹

453 accept private health insurance
197 accept Medicare
513 accept Medicaid
313 accept state-financed health insurance other than Medicaid
139 accept Federal military insurance (Tricare)
287 accept a sliding-scale fee
5 accept Indian Health Service/Tribal/Urban (ITU) funds
213 accept minimal payment or waive all treatment charges for clients who cannot pay
555 accept cash or self-payment
5 accept no payment and are entirely free for all clients

As you can see, most rehab facilities accept either private insurance or Medicaid. It is essential to verify the types of payments or insurance the facility accepts. By choosing an in-network facility that has an agreement with your insurance provider, you will have fewer out-of-pocket expenses. If you have private insurance, you may have more access to rehab treatment, as some facilities cap the number of available Medicaid beds depending on state law.¹³

Since 2015, as part of the ACA, Pennsylvania expanded its Medicaid insurance to allow those who did not previously qualify to be insured. As of May 2021, more than 3 million Pennsylvanians were covered with Medicaid insurance.⁶ The program allows you to choose among more than 10 insurance plans.

Low-Cost and Free Rehabs in Philadelphia

If you are underinsured, uninsured, and unable to pay for treatment, the Philadelphia Single County Authority (SCA) assists you with federal, state, and city funding for alcohol and drug rehab in Philadelphia, PA, based on your financial eligibility.

Within the city, dozens of rehab facilities work with the Philadelphia SCA.

How Do I Pay for Addiction Treatment in Philadelphia?

If you are uninsured and do not qualify for free rehab or free rehab facilities are full, you still have options.

Choose a Program That Offers Payment Plans

Set up a payment schedule that fits your budget and satisfies the rehab facility.

Apply for a Rehab Scholarship

Scholarships can partially or fully cover treatment costs for those who qualify. For help finding scholarships, check the Help.org page on Scholarships for Drug and Alcohol Rehab.

If you are interested in finding a scholarship or grant, you can also ask the rehab facility if they offer scholarships. Corporations, churches, and non-profit organizations also offer scholarships.

Be sure to look at the 10,000 Beds scholarship. A non-profit organization funds it and is on a mission to help those who meet all these criteria:

Persons with substance use disorders seeking treatment
Individuals willing to enter a 30-day inpatient rehab program
Those who want to get better
Any who do not have the financial means to pay for treatment
Whoever cannot get help from family, friends, government funds, or charities to pay for rehab

Filling out the application is simple and could drastically reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

Even those with private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare can apply for scholarships and qualify. Scholarship funds can be used for both inpatient and outpatient rehab facilities.

Find a Sliding-Scale Rehab Program

There are Philadelphia drug rehabs with fees that are adjusted based on your ability to pay. Based on your finances, a sliding-scale payment plan allows you to move forward with treatment while making affordable, regular payments.

Please call 800-926-9037 (Who Answers?) to speak to a treatment specialist about your options.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Rehab in Philadelphia

Outpatient or community-based rehab is provided outside of a hospital or medical facility. Three levels of treatment exist for outpatient rehab:

Traditional outpatient: Meeting your therapist at least once a week
Intensive outpatient: Meeting your therapist at least three times per week
Partial hospitalization: Meeting your therapist daily but going home each night

Support of other clients undergoing treatment for addiction and a sense of community
Less access to alcohol or drugs
Evidence of greater treatment success
Access to staff around the clock

Flexibility to keep working, going to school, or raising your family
More privacy
Day-to-day support from loved ones and friends
Affordability

Outpatient care entails that you are empowered and confident you will abstain from drugs or alcohol while being exposed to them.

Dual-Diagnosis Rehab

According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 45% of those addicted to alcohol or drugs also have a mental health diagnosis. In the US in 2020, 17 million adults had both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder.⁷

If you rely on alcohol or drugs to alleviate your mental health symptoms—such as depression or anxiety—you should seek dual-diagnosis treatment.

A dual-diagnosis rehab gives you access to mental health and addiction specialists. The multidisciplinary treatment approach, aimed at treating both addiction and mental health disorders, helps you achieve lasting recovery.

Depression and Addiction

People who suffer from depression are likelier to be addicted to drugs or alcohol. More than 30% of people with major depression have an alcohol or drug addiction.⁸ Alcohol is a depressant, so adding it to a depressive disorder is dangerous, even if common.

If you are addicted to drugs or alcohol and suffer from depression, call 800-926-9037 (Who Answers?) to speak to one of our specialists about a dual diagnosis rehab near you.

Anxiety and Addiction

An estimated 19% of people suffer from a generalized anxiety disorder.⁹ You can become addicted to prescribed benzodiazepines (e.g., Valium, Ativan, and Klonopin) used to treat anxiety. If you have anxiety and self-medicate with benzos or alcohol, seek treatment at a dual-diagnosis rehab.

PTSD and Addiction

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs when you are personally traumatized or witness someone else being traumatized. You are likelier to develop PTSD if you feel like the situation was out of your control.

A nationwide study showed 46% of people with full PTSD have substance use disorder, mostly with alcohol.¹⁰ The rate of alcohol or substance use disorder among US combat military veterans returning from Afghanistan or Iraq was even higher, at 64%.¹²

If you have PTSD and medicate yourself with alcohol or drugs to cope with recurring nightmares or anxiety, choose an alcohol or drug rehab that addresses your PTSD.

Bipolar Disorder and Addiction

Depression and manic episodes are the hallmarks of bipolar disorder. More than 40% of people with bipolar disorder use alcohol or drugs to help with mood swings.¹²

Treatment includes both medications and psychotherapy aimed at helping you make healthier choices and providing camaraderie in group therapy sessions.

Personality Disorders and Addiction

From 35% to 73% of people with alcohol or drug addiction have a personality disorder.¹³ People with avoidant personality disorder may lean toward alcohol use. People with an antisocial personality disorder may lean toward cocaine use.

Look for a dual-diagnosis rehab near you that offers cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies. Call 800-926-9037 (Who Answers?) for help from one of our specialists.

Types of Addiction Therapy Used in Rehab

In addition to medications, various therapies may help you achieve lasting recovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy. CBT helps you replace your negative thoughts with realistic thoughts, improved problem-solving skills, coping mechanisms, and self-confidence. CBT treatment works well for alcohol and drug addiction, depression, and anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) combines CBT, mindfulness, acceptance, and changing negative behaviors. DBT is particularly useful if you have a dual diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (severe mood swings, thoughts of suicide, impulsive and risky behavior) and addiction.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy

If you are hesitant to get help for drug or alcohol addiction, a counselor may use motivational enhancement therapy (MET) to convince you to get help for your addiction. MET works best with alcohol and marijuana use.

Contingency Management

Contingency management (CM) is a type of behavior therapy that rewards you for positive steps in your recovery. You may be rewarded for a negative drug screen or attending group therapy sessions, for example.

Group Therapy

This form of psychotherapy allows a small group of people to share their addictions stories, struggles, and victories with each other and a therapist who leads the session. Group therapy may also include CBT. Along with helping with addiction, group therapy is effective for anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Family Therapy

Family therapy helps you and your family communicate better, solve problems, manage conflicts successfully, and support each other.
