Several factors contribute to the cost of rehab; understanding these can help you make an informed decision about the right treatment. They include:
Location, location, location…
Just as in real estate, location can significantly affect the cost of a rehab centre. Facilities in desirable, secluded, or particularly serene settings often come with a higher price tag due to the therapeutic benefits these environments offer. This is particularly true regarding ultra-secluded “celebrity rehab centres”, which cater for (and charge accordingly!) high-profile individuals concerned about their privacy.
However, client privacy and confidentiality are legal requirements for all rehab centres, so all you need to think about is choosing a location where you feel comfortable. Recovery Lighthouse is located just a short walk from the beach, which is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy the sea air and reflect on your recovery progress.
Staff profile…
The cost of a rehab facility often reflects the personnel involved in delivering care. A higher price could mean a better staff-to-patient ratio, more experienced therapists, or a wider range of specialists involved in treatment. The best rehab centres offer various therapies and holistic approaches led by experts.
When choosing a rehab centre like Recovery Lighthouse, which provides detox, you should also check that the medical team has experienced doctors and on-site nurses who will oversee your withdrawal and keep you safe.
Facilities…
Centres boasting a more luxurious stay with amenities like private rooms, fitness centres, holistic treatment options, or gourmet dining facilities will also usually carry a higher cost. However, it is crucial to balance these perks with the quality of addiction treatment provided.
Look for a rehab centre that provides the best services and facilities for your budget and has a proven track record of success.
Length of stay…
The cost of rehab is also directly proportional to the duration of your stay. Simply put, the longer the programme, the higher the cost, reflecting the extended use of facilities, resources and professional care.
In fact, at Recovery Lighthouse, all clients receive the same programme of therapies and treatments and are able to access all our excellent facilities so the cost of rehab depends solely on how long you stay.
You can get a good idea of the standards of different rehab centres, their facilities, staff and other important factors by looking at their CQC reports. These are done by the Care Quality Commission, an independent body which assesses rehab centres and other social and health facilities. Recovery Lighthouse is proud of our CQC report as it reflects the importance we place on every aspect of our facilities and care.
