DEPRESSION TREATMENT IN HAWAII

Depression treatment costs depend on the nature and severity of the condition and the presence of any comorbidities. A typical antidepressant medication can cost between $5 to $2,000 per month. Therapy can cost $90 to $150 per hour for individual sessions and $50 per hour for groups. Most people will need to follow a therapy/medication treatment plan for at least 4 weeks to see benefits.

People with moderate to severe depression or people dually diagnosed with a substance addiction may require more intense supervision and structure to manage their illness. Full-service residential treatment may cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for a 30-day stay. This cost varies based on the client’s needs and program quality. For example, luxury depression treatment centers offer packages of upscale services, including private accommodations in premier locations and fine dining experiences. Further, additional services such as detoxification or non-medical therapies can increase the total costs.

If you are seeking depression treatment in Hawaii for yourself or your loved one and are worried about the cost, you should know that mental health and addiction treatment are considered essential health benefits under many provider plans. This means that many or all of the rehab costs may be covered or reimbursed by your insurance.

People who qualify for Medicare can use their insurance to cover some treatment costs. For example, Medicare covers inpatient and outpatient rehab, counseling, medications, and detox. However, coverage rates depend on the specific Medicare plan.

Depressants are a class of drugs that have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system. When depressants enter the body, communication between the brain and the CNS is interrupted. This can result in poor coordination, cognitive impairment, and reduced heart rate.

Alcohol is a depressant with stimulating effects. Initial alcohol consumption can cause an elevated mood and an increase in energy. However, as people drink more, depressive effects start to appear. Alcohol consumption can lead to slowed speech and movement and low mood. Drinking too much alcohol shuts down the body’s vital functions and can lead to unconsciousness or death.

For most people, depression is a chronic lifelong disorder. With treatment, people can learn to manage their symptoms in a healthy way and regain control over their lives. Crisis inpatient treatment for depression can take anywhere from six weeks to several months. During this time, the client is stabilized, treated for depression and any co-occurring disorder, and connected with specialists and counselors.

After stabilizing, most people will benefit from ongoing counseling and medication management. Psychologists recommend that people on antidepressants remain on their treatment plan for at least 6 months. Many people take antidepressants indefinitely to reduce their symptoms and support their well-being.
