If you are struggling with an addiction and planning to go to private rehab in order to recover, you may be wondering about the costs involved with attending and what options are available when it comes to paying for your treatment. If you are concerned at all about paying for rehab, this article should help put you at ease.

Below, we’re going to discuss the ways in which you can pay for drug and alcohol rehab services at Asana Lodge. We will also cover treatment costs, available payment options, and what to do if you can’t afford the cost.

How Can I Pay For Inpatient Rehab?

There are several options when it comes to paying for rehab. Most rehab centres will understand that every client is different and has unique situations, requirements, and needs. With this in mind, the majority of rehab centres will offer different payment methods to help you find your treatment in a way that suits you.

Below are some of the main ways in which people tend to pay for their rehab treatment:

Self-Funding

We understand that choosing to invest in your recovery is a significant decision, and the overall cost of rehab programmes can vary based on factors such as the type of treatment you receive and the length of your stay. If you are self-funding your treatment, a deposit will be required to secure your place in the programme. This deposit will be deducted from the total amount due, ensuring that it goes directly towards your treatment costs.

The remaining balance will be due upon your arrival at the rehab centre, offering you peace of mind knowing your place is reserved. We want to make this process as smooth as possible for you, so payments can generally be made using a credit card, debit card, or bank transfer. Some centres may also provide additional payment methods, so we encourage you to discuss your preferences and any concerns directly with the team at the centre.

We understand that finances can feel overwhelming during this time, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further clarification or support.

Private Health Insurance

There are many private medical insurances that support rehab treatments. Some examples include Bupa, Aviva, AXA, Vitality, Zurich and many more.

If you have private medical insurance personally or through your employer, you may need to get a referral from your GP before you can go through the treatment. You will usually be requested to provide your insurance details when you book your initial consultation. This is so that the rehab centre can get a pre-authorisation that is agreed with the insurance provider.

Additionally, different insurance companies may offer different levels of care. If you have any doubts or questions about what your insurance policy covers, it’s best to get in touch with your insurance provider, as they will be able to inform you of their policies.

Employer Funding

There are many employers in the UK who offer an occupational health fund through one of the above insurance companies. Whether you’re referring yourself or being referred by your employer, we recommend that you speak to HR at your work or an occupational health team to determine whether your employee insurance policy would cover your stay in rehab.

What Payment Options Does Rehab Accept?

The payment options that are accepted in rehab will vary depending on the treatment centre that you choose. Every rehab facility is different, and they will offer various ways of making a payment.

Here at Asana Lodge, we offer electronic transfers, credit or debit card payments, or cash. Unfortunately, like many other rehab centres, we don’t accept cheques as a form of paying for your rehab treatment.

When searching for the right rehab centre for you, it’s a good idea to ask the staff which payment methods are on offer during your initial conversation with them. This will help you to ensure that you find a treatment centre that offers the right kind of payment option to suit your specific needs.

What Are The Costs of Rehab?

The average cost of a rehab treatment programme in the UK can vary depending on a number of factors, including location, length of stay and the severity of the addiction being treated.

At Asana Lodge, we aim to be as transparent as possible when it comes to rehab costs. When searching for a rehab centre, the key is to look for one that offers the right treatment package at a price that is affordable for you. Our average rehab costs are:

  • £9,875 for a 14-night programme
  • £13,975 for a 21-night programme
  • £17,750 for a 28-night programme

The costs above will cover your full recovery journey in residential rehabilitation. This includes detoxing and addiction treatment, as well as facilities and food.

What to Do If You Can’t Afford Addiction Treatment?

If you are struggling to find the means to pay and attend rehab yourself, there are other treatment options. These include:

Outpatient Programmes

The NHS offers several options for free treatment. However, these tend to have very long waiting lists, so it’s not always a convenient option if you want help right now. These waiting lists may be over months or even years, depending on where you are located and the demand in your particular area.

Friends and Family

Addiction can affect your friends and family as well as you. You may find that your family and friends may be willing to offer financial support with the cost of rehab. Once you admit to your loved ones that you are struggling with an addiction and need help, they may be willing to help raise the money necessary for your treatment.

Loans

There are many loans out there, and some loans are designed specifically to help with addiction treatment costs. If you are struggling to pay for rehab yourself, a loan may be very helpful. You can view this loan as a very positive investment in your future.
