Cost is usually the first question, and people are often embarrassed to ask it. Ask it anyway. At Pines Recovery Life we keep prices affordable so that our detox in South Florida is accessible to more people. We also check your insurance so you know whether your plan covers addiction treatment. Our admissions staff will give you the numbers you need to make a decision about your recovery.

Price of detox in South Florida

What detox costs depends on how severe the addiction is and which substance is involved. Set that number against what the using has already cost you. Most people have never added up the lost wages, the stalled career and the relationships.

The average salary in Florida is around $52,000, so losing your job for six months costs more than $26,000 before you count what you spent on drugs or alcohol. Detox looks expensive until you put it next to that.

Financial risks and career costs

You have probably done things while using that you are not proud of, taking money from people who love you among them. Treatment costs less than where that road ends.

Opioids, benzodiazepines and alcohol change your brain chemistry, and the decisions follow. Have you called off work, missed deadlines, swung between highs and lows? That pattern narrows your career options and eventually costs you the job.

Detox is where you start recovery and get a chance to put your priorities back in order.

What’s included in the detox price?

Paying out of pocket or through insurance, you get the same care: an individual treatment plan, 24-hour supervision, medical support, and both traditional and holistic therapies. Nutritious meals and organized recreational activities are part of it.

What you pay depends on how long you stay and how severe the disorder is.

Do I save money detoxing at home?

Quitting some substances on your own is dangerous. Withdrawal can bring seizures, hallucinations, fever and tremors, and without medical supervision it can threaten your life. Most people also go back to using simply to make the symptoms stop.
