What Is the Cost of Rehab in Worcester?

The cost of drug and alcohol rehab programs in Worcester varies widely. Several factors impact the overall cost of addiction treatment, including:

  • The type of rehab treatment. For instance, inpatient programs, which includes housing and 24-hour care, costs more than outpatient services.
  • Location of the treatment facility. Inpatient programs in states with a higher cost of living, like New York, cost more.
  • Length of stay and range of services provided. A longer stay at a rehab center costs more.
  • The intensity of services rendered. Some individuals require detoxification when they enter rehab; others do not. More medical care tends to cost more.
  • Specific client characteristics—like individuals who are pregnant or have significant medical issues, for instance.
  • Cost of resources. In states where resources cost more, rehab costs more, too.
  • Amenities offered at the rehab center. The cost of rehab is also determined by the amenities offered by the specific treatment facility. These amenities may include chef-prepared meals, fitness centers, pools, acupuncture, massage, and more.

It’s always a good idea to check with your health insurance provider before entering rehab to understand the details of what your health plan covers for addiction treatments.

Ask about any out-of-pocket expenses you can expect, such as your deductible, copays, and coinsurance.

Can I Go to Drug Rehab in Worcester Without Insurance?

You can go to drug rehab in Worcester without insurance. If you are unable to pay for rehab, 221 Massachusetts rehab centers provide treatment at no charge or minimal payment for those who cannot pay.5

There are several financial assistance options for those who have no health insurance coverage and need free rehab options, low-cost drug rehab, or state-funded programs in Worcester, which may include:

Payment plans. Many rehabs in Worcester provide payment plan options, which give you the opportunity to pay back the costs of treatment over time. Most payments begin once you complete treatment and some offer a grace period (e.g., three months) before payments begin. This gives you the opportunity to find employment and get settled into your community before you begin your monthly payments.

Sliding scale fees. Sliding scale fees offer treatment at a cost that fits your budget. For example, the rehab may determine your final cost based on your annual income. This helps ensure that even folks with low income or no income can access the addiction treatments they need.

Self-payment. Self-payment simply means you pay for treatment without the help of private or government health insurance, scholarships, and grants. Some people pay for rehab with credit cards, personal loans, or lines of credit. Others ask family members or friends to help with costs.

Scholarships. Some Worcester drug and alcohol rehabs may offer their own scholarships to those who are unable to pay for the cost of treatment on their own. The specifics of who qualifies for the scholarships, how much the scholarship covers, and how many scholarships are awarded each year vary by program.
