I was just wondering about this since thousands of dollars seem like so much money.

Drug addiction treatments cost much because a lot of factors are involved when treating a patient. Medication and payment for counseling and therapy costs much. But studies have shown that a full year of methadone maintenance treatment would cost a lot less than a year of imprisonment. Besides, this is someone's life that's on the line. What's a thousand dollars compared to leading a sober, happy, addiction-free life?

You can actually find one that doesn't cost a thing.
