How Much Does Treatment at Drug Alternative Program Cost?
Drug Alternative Program’s pricing page lists a one-time entrance fee of $1,800, which it says pays for housing, meals, clothing, incidentals and medical insurance. A work therapy fee of $900 a month is also shown, offset by what residents earn in the work program. Men who move on to a transition home pay a quarter of their income, up to $350 a month.
Beyond the housing and meals it names, the fee would most likely include the intake assessment, group therapy and individual counseling, though that is an expectation the program did not state. Medication, laboratory work and specialist therapies may cost extra or may not be offered, so call Drug Alternative Program and ask for a total rather than a daily rate for your situation. Self-pay is the only payment type recorded for this program.

Drug Alternative Program Reviews
For men considering residential treatment, the honest account of a previous patient is worth more than any feature list. Your experience of Drug Alternative Program answers questions another family has not thought to ask yet. The description promises faith-based 12 to 18 month residential program for men in which daily work therapy earns part of the program cost, which is easy to write and harder to deliver.
Anyone with direct experience can review it: former residents, parents, partners and siblings and aftercare and sober living staff. Try to say something about what the daily routine involved, what support followed discharge and what you would tell someone considering it. Say what you would want to have known beforehand.
