Delaware has 73 different rehabilitation facilities from which to choose. Delaware has facilities that are both publicly funded and operated, and privately funded and operated. Most facilities can bill through insurance, but private payment is also an option for those wishing to go that route. There is also a wide range of services available. Most often, patients in rehabilitation facilities will live on site for a time while they recover, but outpatient and residential services are also widely utilized methods of treatment.
For people struggling with drug or alcohol dependence, it is highly recommended to seek out the help of a professional drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. Recovery from substance abuse is a very individualized process, many people find that the use of a rehabilitation referral service is very helpful. It is important to consider all relevant factors in choosing a facility in order to give the prospective patient the best chance at recovery.
