The following are some of the more common questions we get asked by potential residents.
- What do services cost?
Insurance providers, in most cases, will cover the cost of treatment at our facilities, so you have little or no out of pocket fees. We’ve partnered with the very best health insurance providers to make successful drug/alcohol treatment, detox, dual diagnosis, aftercare, inpatient and sober living treatment and recovery an option for everyone.
- Will my insurance cover some or all of the cost of treatment?
Thanks to recent legislation, the Addiction Equity Act, insurance providers must provide the same coverage for substance abuse treatment as they do any other medical or surgical conditions.
Now, more than ever, more people are able to exercise their insurance coverage and benefits to provide in-patient services at little or no out of pocket fees.

- Why do some people become addicted while others do not?
No single factor can predict whether a person will become addicted to drugs. Risk for addiction is influenced by a combination of factors that include individual biology, social environment, and age or stage of development. The more risk factors an individual has, the greater the chance that taking drugs can lead to addiction. For example:
Biology: The genes that people are born with—in combination with environmental influences—account for about half of their addiction vulnerability. Additionally, gender, ethnicity, and the presence of other mental disorders may influence risk for drug abuse and addiction.
Environment: A person’s environment includes many different influences, from family and friends to socioeconomic status and quality of life in general. Factors such as peer pressure, physical and sexual abuse, stress, and quality of parenting can greatly influence the occurrence of drug abuse and the escalation to addiction in a person’s life.
Development: Genetic and environmental factors interact with critical developmental stages in a person’s life to affect addiction vulnerability. Although taking drugs at any age can lead to addiction, the earlier that drug use begins, the more likely it will progress to more serious abuse, which poses a special challenge to adolescents. Because areas in their brains that govern decision making, judgment, and self-control are still developing, adolescents may be especially prone to risk-taking behaviors, including trying drugs of abuse.
