What’s the Difference Between Private and Public Rehabs?
The main difference between private and public rehabs is where funding comes from. Unlike privately funded rehabs, which get money through insurance payments or private pay, public rehabs are financed through government resources. This usually consists of federal grants, state funds, or reimbursements from Medicaid.
The limited funds available to public rehabs through these sources also limit how the services can be provided. Some programs are only available to residents of a given state, and some limit available beds for non-Medicaid participants. Private rehabs, by contrast, do not have these particular limits. Private rehabs also tend to have more money available for staffing, space, and varieties of therapeutic services.
One of the biggest struggles in general for public rehabs is the lack of beds in comparison to the volume of people needing help. People looking for addiction help are vulnerable, and not being able to get into a program presents a significant barrier to recovery.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s Principles of Effective Treatment, one of the most important characteristics of treatment is that it must be readily available.2 Finding a public rehab that meets this description can be difficult, and difficulty getting help is not conducive to successful early recovery.
Who Should Go to a 90-Day Rehab?
A 90-day inpatient residential rehab program may benefit individuals who have a severe addiction, co-occurring mental or physical health issues, or who do not have a stable home environment.
In clinical settings, addiction is diagnosed as a substance use disorder (SUD) by medical professionals. While a SUD can only be diagnosed by a medical professional, you may notice some of the following signs as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, Fifth Edition (DSM-5):5
- Taking a substance in larger amounts or for longer periods of time than intended.
- Failing to cut down or control your substance use.
- Experiencing strong cravings to use a substance.
- Spending a significant amount of time obtaining, using, or recovering from the effects of a substance.
- Failing to fulfill home, school, or work responsibilities due to substance use.
- Repeatedly using a substance despite experiencing interpersonal, social, physical, or psychological problems caused or worsened by use.
- Regularly using a substance in dangerous situations, such as driving.
- Developing a tolerance, meaning you require higher or more frequent doses to experience the desired effects.
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you attempt to cut back or stop substance use.
The three months spent at the treatment center empower individuals with solid relapse prevention skills and further enable teaching methods to manage stress and other problems without going back to drugs or alcohol.

Benefits of a Private Drug & Alcohol Rehab Center
The following are favorable qualities of private rehab to think about when making your treatment choice:
- Most of the rehab centers in the United States are private rehabs.3 Focusing your treatment search on private rehabs can make it easier to connect with treatment because there is simply more to choose from.
- There is less likelihood of dealing with full beds and waiting lists at a private rehab.
- Compared to public facilities, private rehabs tend to offer a larger physical space in a less crowded area to pursue recovery.
- Private rehab centers have more resources for staffing and for developing programs incorporating a variety of treatment approaches.
Along with ready access to help, people seeking recovery benefit from individualized care and treatment plans with frequent reviews and updates.2 The more extensive financial resources of private rehab centers empower these facilities to provide more personalized recovery planning and more one-on-one attention. If you are looking for addiction help, these are important things to consider.
How Much Does It Cost to Attend a Private Addiction Treatment Facility?
The cost of private rehab can range depending on the situation. Private rehab facilities may be more expensive than public facilities. Some factors that impact private rehab treatment costs include:
- The length of the program.
- Where the facility is located.
- The types of treatment offered.
- Health insurance coverage.
When comparing the costs of treatment options, it may be helpful to also measure the benefits of a good program against the costs of active addiction. Substance misuse can have devastating consequences to health, legal status, and social functioning, all of which have an associated financial burden.4 A honest comparison may lead you to conclude that treatment costs less.
