Our Methodology
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient rehabs offer the structure and support that clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those in crisis often need. They provide housing and meals, enable clients to escape home and workplace stressors and focus solely on recovery. Clients engage in intensive psychotherapy, which may include group and family counseling. Inpatient treatment is also designed to prepare clients for outpatient care, which typically involves recovery-focused life skills training. Holistic therapies are widely available.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Clients receiving services in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox or an inpatient treatment program. Aftercare programs provide customized, wraparound care to support recovery as a life-long process. Case managers, the recovery care team, and the client work together to identify and access services the client needs in order to support sustained sobriety.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Recovery is possible for those who complete drug rehab in Delaware. These programs specialize in providing an environment that encourages sobriety and a professional staff that provides the tools to overcome addiction. Participants receive a customized treatment plan tailored to their needs.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Dual-diagnosis rehabs in Delaware offer comprehensive care for individuals needing mental health and substance abuse treatment. The phrase dual-diagnosis means an individual has an addiction and a co-occurring mental health condition at the same time. Typically, you can expect these rehabs provide various levels of care, including inpatient, detox, and outpatient. You'll receive a mental health assessment and individualized treatment plan, medication (if necessary), counseling, and behavioral therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
When used in treatment sessions, cognitive behavioral therapy in Delaware has been shown to be an effective method to address a variety of mental health disorders, including substance use disorders. An advantage of this method is its ability to also address any co occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Several life skills are important to develop during and after rehab treatment in Delaware. They include communication and interpersonal skills. These life skills will help you repair, maintain, and create healthy relationships, which are important for long term sobriety.

I just wanted to take the time to thank Brandywine Counseling in Dover, DE for their support with my DUI outpatient program. The office manager Kathy Leet was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable which helped to ease my mind. My case manager Mike Peck was super supporti ...
This place has saved my life, the staff is amazing with all the patients, they help them to be happy, thanks to them I now have a future, I would recommend to anyone visiting this place, they can not imagine how much they will help them.
This place has been absolutely horrible to me and my wife. They help out people who are still using and I have no problem with that but they want to discharge me and my wife when we been clean 2 and a half years . I have constantly and I mean constantly been in and out of the hospital for seizures I can't work unless it's a side job and I have been doing those my wife works and we been living in a tent for over 2 years. We saved every penny to buy a car that unfortunately needs a few things before we can ride more then 5 miles . And I was just informed about them discharging both of us after a conversation the other day where the woman Ella green was very disrespectful and acted like a child at times even making faces at my wife. There's another councilor who is nice and understands exactly where we are coming from This woman Ella green is super uneducated when it comes to addicts and seems to think her simple answers can fix anything . She can be very disrespectful and act like a child and even make faces Towards my wife and you can tell she has never lived this life and never had seen a family member go threw it and in my eyes you shouldn't have that job if you don't understand it. If you haven't lived it or watched anyone go threw it and she admitted that you have no reason to tell people it's that easy . Even two min wage jobs we can't get off the street Prices are two high and coming from nothing we felt is saying every penny to get this car was a big step but by her we're going about it all the wrong way. I have maybe 4 days total out the hospital in the last 30 days because of my seizures. And she's worried about me filling out paper work about my feelings . And I have already explained my feelings and such to her on one on one conversations And I don't know where them papers are they put me on sosmy meds if I'm not having a seizure I'm zoning out and forgetting where I am. Like grandma seizures. Before the conversation started the other day she said she got a copy of our marriage license that we need and she refused to give it to us like a child. What good it does to her to hold on to os beyond me except to ack petty. I need a response. Of you want to kick me out because everything I'm going then whatever but why kick my wife out over a disagreement. That you were both involved in . I want to take this to the highest priority I can. You even had our marriage license for us then refused to give them to us because you were in your feelings. Your supposed to be professional . It's funny how we was doing perfectly fine untill she came along amd demanded I fill out paperwork like a child about how I'm feeling . I can tell you how I'm feeling and that works better for me. Wouldn't you want your Client to feel more better about how they express themselves. I was even told the papers may or may not be read so what's the point. I feel better expressing myself in person so you can actually understand me. I can't put on paper how I feel and totally express myself. I had long talks with Mike and and got great feedback . It wasn't untill Ella green came along that things started to change it's her way or the highway Not truly about helping people Not once was I asked how was I feeling what's going on with my medical problems of there anything else you think we could help with .
I was providing transportation. Although, I did go in. The facility was small, quiet and staff was pleasant.
Very unprofessional! Lady can’t answer a single question. & when she did “sure” was all she can say with no other explanation, with some huffing & puffing, also to top it off she hung up on me. Horrible!
