Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in Gautier, MS
Gautier sits on the Mississippi Sound between Ocean Springs and Pascagoula, and the city was incorporated in 1986, making it among the youngest on the coast.
Shepard State Park and the Pascagoula River marshes lie within the city, and the Pascagoula is the largest undammed river in the lower forty-eight states.
Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula is the largest private employer in Mississippi and draws much of Gautier’s workforce.
Jackson County has recorded a steep overdose decline, from 78 in the twelve months to December 2021 to 45 in the twelve months to December 2025 on provisional CDC counts, a fall of 42 percent.
Even after that fall, Jackson County records the highest overdose total in Mississippi.
The treatment picture is close to empty locally. One facility sits within twelve miles of Gautier, offering outpatient care and dual diagnosis work.
Widening to thirty miles reaches six facilities including one with detox and two beds, as the ring stretches west toward Biloxi and Gulfport.
Those are the same coastal providers reachable from every city on this shore.
Which Level of Care Do You Need
The figures below use a twelve-mile catchment with wider numbers where they change the picture, covering Gautier, Biloxi and Gulfport.
Medically Supervised Detox
Detox is the supervised management of withdrawal, running roughly three to ten days depending on the substance, and it precedes everything else where the body has become dependent. Nothing within twelve miles of Gautier indicates detox provision, and around one does within thirty. One option serving the whole Mississippi coast makes waiting times the first question rather than the last.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Residential treatment is a live-in stay of a month or more, suiting people whose home circumstances make stopping difficult. Nothing within twelve miles indicates residential provision, and around two do within thirty. Those two serve the entire coastline, so establishing waiting times early matters more here than the figure suggests.
Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment
Because Mississippi assesses against ASAM criteria, the level you are placed at is a clinical finding rather than a sales category, and it is worth asking to see it. One provider operates within twelve miles of Gautier, offering standard outpatient care, rising to six within thirty with two indicating intensive outpatient and three offering maintenance treatment. Shipyard work runs on shifts and is physically demanding, so ask whether a program can schedule around them and mention any prescription that followed a workplace injury.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
When an addiction and a mental health condition occur together, integrated treatment tackles them simultaneously rather than queueing one behind the other. Around one provider within twelve miles of Gautier indicates this work, rising to about three within thirty. Jackson County carries the highest overdose total in Mississippi, and that thin dual diagnosis picture is worth reading alongside it.
Sober Living Homes and Transitional Living
Where someone lives after treatment matters as much as the treatment. This directory does not cover recovery housing, though the Mississippi Association of Recovery Residences certifies homes across the state. Since certification is optional, ask a residence directly whether it holds it and who inspects it. Coastal housing has been expensive since Katrina, largely because of insurance costs, so year-round rental is scarcer than the area’s size suggests.
Addiction Treatment Cost and Insurance Coverage in Gautier, MS
The coast prices above most of Mississippi given the shipyard and casino economy, though with no Medicaid expansion a large share of that workforce cannot reach the private market at any price.
How Much Does Addiction Rehab Cost?
Standard outpatient care in Gautier costs roughly $1,150 to $4,600 a month and is the only level available locally. Residential treatment at $5,500 to $23,000 a month, intensive outpatient at $2,400 to $8,200 a month and medical detox at $1,300 to $4,500 a week all mean traveling west along the coast.
A safety-sensitive role at the shipyard carries its own reporting requirements, so ask a program how it handles return-to-work documentation before admission rather than afterwards.
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox (7–14 days) | $1,300 – $4,500 per week | $185 – $645 |
| Residential inpatient | $5,500 – $23,000 | $185 – $765 |
| PHP | $6,500 – $12,500 | $215 – $415 |
| IOP | $2,400 – $8,200 | $80 – $275 |
| Outpatient | $1,150 – $4,600 | $38 – $155 |
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Residential inpatient | $16,000 – $46,000+ | $535 – $1,535 |
| PHP | $13,000 – $29,000 | $435 – $965 |
| IOP | $9,000 – $22,000 | $300 – $735 |
| Outpatient | $4,600 – $14,000 | $155 – $465 |
Does Insurance Cover Rehab?
Yes. Addiction treatment sits among the essential health benefits most plans are required to include. What a plan actually pays varies with the employer, the network and the level of care, so two people with the same insurer can face very different bills. Employer plans through the shipyard, Medicare and Mississippi Medicaid are all common here.
Being insured settles less than people expect. Prior authorization applies to detox and residential admission, and the network question decides the cost. Anyone earning above the federal poverty level should check Marketplace subsidies, which are not available to those earning less and which can make a plan considerably cheaper than the sticker price.
Free and State-Funded Addiction Rehab in Gautier, MS
Mississippi has not expanded Medicaid, and that shapes almost everything about paying for treatment here. Adults without dependent children do not qualify for Medicaid at any income unless they are aged, blind or disabled, and parents qualify only below around 22 percent of the federal poverty level. Close to 200,000 people in this state fall into the resulting coverage gap: too much income for Medicaid, too little for Marketplace subsidies. A bill to expand was filed in January 2026 and was not brought to a vote.
South Mississippi Mental Health Center is the regional community mental health center for Jackson County and is the front door to publicly funded treatment here. The centers are required to serve people who cannot pay privately, charging on a sliding scale, and the Department of Mental Health funds alcohol and drug services through them across all 82 counties. If you are in the coverage gap, this is the number to call first rather than ringing round private programs: 228-283-4140.
More Help and Recovery Support
Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula and Ocean Springs Hospital both serve this part of the coast, with Memorial at Gulfport acting as the region’s main trauma center.
Alcoholics Anonymous meets at most hours across the Mississippi coast, with schedules shaped by shift work at the shipyard and the casinos. Narcotics Anonymous operates a coastal area, and Celebrate Recovery meets widely in churches locally. Nearby Biloxi, Gulfport and Richton carry further listings, with more across Mississippi.
