If you are in need of a California rehabilitation center then you should start your search by calling up local treatment centers and asking some questions.  You should do this even if you do not have the money to go to drug treatment or the medical insurance necessary to cover it.  In some cases, people qualify to get funding for treatment in a way that they did not realize, or they might even get some sort of grant money in order to attend treatment for free.  These things change over time and such options may or may not be available to you, and they only way to find out is to get on the phone and call some local drug rehabs and see what your funding options are.  In many cases treatment centers will work with you as best they can and try to work out a financial arrangement to get you in the door.

If you are serious about getting clean and sober then paying big money for rehab is actually the best investment you will ever make in your life.  If you stay clean and sober after leaving treatment then the return on your money will be absolutely huge over the next few years.  If you stay clean for a decade or longer then the return on your investment into rehab will probably be in the millions of dollars.  Most drug addicts and alcoholics who are trapped in addiction spend several thousand dollars each year on their addictions, and in some cases people will literally spend over a million dollars over the course of ten years if you add up all the expenses related to their drug and alcohol use.  If you pay a few thousand dollars to go to rehab and you can avoid these future expenses, then you will save a ton of money and make back your investment in a very short period of time.

Of course the real pay off from going to rehab and staying clean and sober is not about the money you will save.  The real pay off is in the quality of life that will change you for you in such a drastic manner.  If you stay clean and sober and start creating a new life for yourself in recovery, you are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness that you never knew before, even before you started using drugs and alcohol.  This is the real reward and this is why you should go to rehab.
