Minnesota Inpatient and Outpatient Rehab Centers Near Me for Drug and Alcohol Addiction

The most rapidly growing drug problem in Minnesota is the abuse of prescription opioid painkillers. Within the last 15 years in Minnesota, opioids have been responsible for the deaths of more than 2,700 people. The majority, or 80% of these deaths, have involved prescription drugs. During the past 15 years, Minnesota has experienced a 1,220% increase in opiate-related deaths.¹

It’s no wonder that there has been such a huge increase in drug-related deaths with only 17.1% of those suffering from addiction actually seeking treatment.

There is no set cost for addiction treatment due to the varying levels of care, services provided, and amenities included at different treatment facilities. For example, if you wish to seek treatment at a luxury facility with special amenities, you should expect the cost of treatment to be higher.

Other cost-contributing factors will be determined by an addiction treatment professional during the admissions process. For example, depending on the severity of your addiction, you may require a longer length of treatment which will add to the cost of rehab.
