Affordable addiction treatment in California is not easy to find. Some of the most affordable places for drug and alcohol treatment in California are not always the best. If you are looking for affordable drug treatment in California make sure you look at the drug treatment center’s daily program schedule and check to see what they offer. Some affordable sober living drug treatment facilities in California may at first glance appear more affordable, but when you arrive they hit you with ancillary charges for services that you might have assumed were included in the cost of treatment. For example, many California addiction treatment centers charge extra for services such as therapy sessions, psychiatric assessments and medication assessments, gym memberships, food, etc… Ask your potential drug treatment center what is included in the cost and what is not. That way you can get a better idea of which treatment facility is truly a good deal.
