Verify Insurance — FreeWhat to Expect at Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital
Treatment at Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital begins with a comprehensive intake assessment covering substance use history, mental health status, and medical needs. This evaluation — typically lasting 1–2 hours — determines the appropriate level of care and creates an individualized treatment plan.
According to SAMHSA guidelines, effective addiction treatment addresses the whole person: not just substance use, but co-occurring mental health conditions, social factors, and long-term recovery planning. Programs at SAMHSA-verified facilities like Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital are structured to meet these comprehensive standards.
Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration of 90 days or more significantly improves outcomes. Many individuals in residential rehab, dual diagnosis programs see measurable progress within 30 days of consistent engagement.

Residential Rehab at Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital
Residential rehabilitation — also called inpatient rehab — requires patients to live at the treatment facility for the duration of the program, typically 28 to 90 days. This level of care provides the most intensive support available outside of a hospital setting.
During residential treatment at a facility like Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital, patients participate in a structured daily schedule. This typically includes individual therapy sessions (3–5 times per week), group therapy (daily), psychoeducation classes, recreational activities, and 12-step or SMART Recovery meetings.
According to NIDA's Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment, participation in treatment for 90 days or longer is associated with significantly better outcomes than shorter programs. Research consistently shows that the longer someone stays engaged in treatment, the higher their chances of sustained recovery.
- Days 1–7:Assessment, stabilization, medical clearance, orientation
- Days 8–30:Intensive therapy, group sessions, skill-building workshops
- Days 31–60:Deeper therapeutic work, family sessions, relapse prevention planning
- Days 61–90+:Transition planning, aftercare connections, community reintegration
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis refers to the co-occurrence of a substance use disorder alongside one or more mental health conditions — such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or ADHD. According to SAMHSA's 2023 National Survey, approximately 21.5 million American adults have co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
Treating only the addiction while ignoring an underlying mental health condition — or vice versa — dramatically increases the risk of relapse. Integrated dual diagnosis treatment addresses both conditions simultaneously using a coordinated care team that includes addiction counselors, psychiatrists, and psychologists.
Effective dual diagnosis programs at facilities like Erlanger Behavioral Health Hospital utilize evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and medication management for both psychiatric and substance use conditions. Research shows that integrated treatment produces significantly better outcomes than sequential or parallel treatment models.

Cost of Treatment & Insurance Coverage
The cost of addiction treatment varies significantly based on the level of care, program duration, and facility amenities. Here are national average estimates to help you plan:
| Program Type | Typical Duration | Average Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Detox | 5–7 days | $500–$1,500/day |
| Inpatient / Residential | 28–90 days | $5,000–$30,000/month |
| Intensive Outpatient (IOP) | 8–12 weeks | $3,000–$10,000 |
| Standard Outpatient | 3–6 months | $1,000–$3,000 |
Insurance coverage: Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), most health insurance plans are legally required to cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level as physical health conditions. This means if your plan covers medical procedures, it must also cover addiction treatment.
Coverage typically includes medically necessary detox, inpatient/residential treatment, outpatient programs, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). The specific amount covered — deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket maximums — varies by plan.

Aftercare & Long-Term Recovery Support
Recovery doesn't end when a treatment program concludes — it's an ongoing process. Research from NIDA consistently shows that people who engage with continuing care after completing primary treatment have significantly better long-term outcomes than those who return directly to independent living without support.
Aftercare options typically include:
- Continuing outpatient therapy: Weekly individual or group sessions to reinforce recovery skills and address challenges as they arise
- Sober living homes: Structured, substance-free housing with peer support — ideal for those transitioning from residential treatment
- Peer support groups: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), SMART Recovery, and similar programs provide free ongoing community support
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): For opioid and alcohol use disorders, ongoing medications like buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone may be clinically recommended
- Recovery coaching: Peer mentorship from individuals with lived experience in recovery
A 2021 study in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that individuals who participated in structured aftercare for 6+ months following primary treatment had a 50–60% reduction in relapse rates compared to those with no aftercare engagement. Good treatment programs — including those that meet SAMHSA standards — create comprehensive discharge plans before a patient leaves the program.
Is This the Right Facility for You?
