Legacy Healing Serving Pompano Beach Florida Sheds Light Onto Addiction Treatment And Finances

September 05, 2019 – –

Legacy Healing Center -Alcohol & Drug Rehab Pompano. Addiction affects almost all areas of life. Health, social, relationships, career, and for some people, their spirituality. Drug and alcohol abuse often creates physical and mental health problems. Wherein the user often has erratic of shifting behavior.

But one side of substance abuse and dependency that is so commonly overlooked is the monetary side of it. It is rarely discussed, but addiction can devastate a person’s finances—and this can also affect their loved ones. Legacy Healing in Pompano is dedicated to helping people in South Florida, or from across the country who are suffering with addiction to break the chains of addiction, once and for all. They work with most major private insurance companies to make sure the financial side is as easy as possible on the patient.

A recent patient by the name of Ken left their review on their Google Listing, “This place is hands down one of the best places to start your recovery journey. The level of care at each phase is outstanding. The staff was caring, compassionate, and friendly from intake to discharge. I personally still stay in contact with some of the staff for support and guidance when needed. Even in the worst of times they didn’t judge me, but extended a helping hand and/or advice. I can truly say that the staff and Owner Marc, at Legacy Detox, showed me nothing but love. Special thanks to Ivan, Travis, Christina, Dennis, Cody, David and all those, too numerous to mention here, for all that you’ve done for me. I love you guys so much.” Click the link to read his review of his detox and rehab.

True Link financial services, a company known for helping families manage the finances of parents with cognitive problems, released a recent case study regarding the monetary effects of drug abuse and addiction. The study surveyed one hundred and forty-nine friends and family members of people with substance abuse disorder. The researchers asked about the financial difficulties and experiences associated with recovery.

An overwhelming percent stated that their loved one experienced adverse financial effects as a result of their substance abuse disorder. This accounts for 82 percent of the sample.

Taking a closer look at the data, one can see how big of an impact the substance abuse disorder made on the person’s life. 65 percent said that the addicted individual borrowed or asked for money from them. 48 percent said that the person depleted their savings. 11 percent cited a filing for bankruptcy.

The study also mentions that a person addicted to cocaine or heroin can spend over $10,000 a year to support the habit—but this can worsen over time as they develop an addiction, a medical condition that requires proper treatment.

Rehabilitation facilities that specialize in detox and rehab can cost $30,000 a month and up, depending on how specific the programs are and how severe the user’s addiction is.

According to the study, 72 percent of the survey respondents said that managing money during recovery is even harder than managing money during addiction. Treatment is unbelievably expensive, and in many cases, it takes the person more than one try to sober.

There is another factor to consider and that is the possibility of relapsing after treatment, forcing the person to go back to drug rehab. This is never the goal of addiction treatment, and Legacy Healing like many others wants to keep people off of the “rehab treadmill” that so many addicts fall into. To avoid this, aftercare is necessary—and unfortunately, that is another obstacle and another aspect of treatment that needs to be managed financially.

Addiction must be treated as a medical condition now more than ever, taking into account that the present opioid crisis is the worst one in the history of the United States. Only by removing the stigma associated with addiction and taking a different approach towards addiction can treatment become more affordable and attainable for the people who need it.

For now, there are many insurance policies that cover addiction treatment to pay for the cost, or to offset the cost of detox and rehab. Their health should still be the top priority of the family. Many drug rehab centers in Pompano also offer convenient payment methods as well, depending on the patient’s condition and the kind of treatment required to help them.

Look for an addiction treatment center and take the first step towards recovery.
