Given the financial cost of addiction finding the best affordable rehab centers that can help you is important. We can advise on low-cost rehab options in the UK.
For some people, a luxury rehab is an option but if you are looking for cheaper rehab there are plenty available. There are some things that are important to one person but not others. We are of course referring to accommodation and location, treatment is not an area for compromise. Below we have listed some of the best ways to save money on rehab.
This is one of the biggest reductions in price outside of location. It can be helpful when you don’t want to leave a certain area but need a low-cost option. Many rehabs believe that sharing a room keeps you accountable to others, allows sharing and prevents isolation. Even if sharing a room isn’t something you want, there are savings to make if, for example, you are happy to share bathroom facilities. If you are used to sharing a room or don’t mind doing so, then we can suggest rehab centers that offer this as an option.
Another area of rehab to consider is what facilities they offer. Some mid-range and luxury rehabs provide in house exercise, complimentary (massage, reiki, aromatherapy) treatments and private grounds. On the budget end, you can use local public sports facilities, pay as you go for complementary treatment and enjoy the often beautiful local area.
It might not make sense on the face of it but often travelling to rehab abroad can save you a lot of money. This is because many countries are set up for a lower cost of living and accommodation costs less. This doesn’t mean fewer facilities, in fact, many alcohol and drug rehab centers in Europe are set up in high-end former hotels.
If you are based in the UK, then flights to European destinations such as Spain and Portugal are affordable. You may well find on balance that going to for a rehab holiday saves you a lot of money. There are other advantages too, you can enjoy some distance from your life and a better climate can help alleviate low mood. Those who don’t want to travel so far can find rehab in Ireland which offers excellent savings on inpatient rehab.
Even in the UK, there is a difference in price depending on where you go to rehab. It makes sense that a rural rehab near Glasgow will be less expensive than one in central London. This is not to say that there are no luxury rehabs in rural locations and some cities or towns are less expensive. Some of the lower-cost locations are in more rural or remote areas, especially in Wales and Scotland. Availability is another factor in this balance of price and location. If a rehab near you is almost full then they are less likely to offer a money-saving option, such as a shared room. On the other hand, a rehab further afield might be at half capacity and able to offer better rates at the time you want to go.
Now you know all the factors that affect the price of rehab stays you may be wondering how you can find somewhere that matches you. Our team can use Rehab Guide’s database of rehab clinics to find somewhere that matches your needs as closely as possible within your budget. You can tell us where you are willing to compromise and where you aren’t. For example: I want to go to rehab near me but I don’t want to share a room.
