Get Personalized Addiction Care at The Renaissance Recovery
Our rehab centers help men and women who are struggling with addictions, substance abuse and mental health disorders. We also provide treatment exclusively to International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) members at our Maryland facility, the IAFF Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery.
For many people grappling with an addiction to prescription medications, illicit drugs, or alcohol, the perceived cost of treatment is a barrier.
With 40 million U.S. adults diagnosed with substance use disorders and fewer than 10% engaging with addiction treatment, there remains a significant treatment gap.
Fortunately, most of the best treatment centers will accept health insurance for payment if you are unable to pay for rehab out of pocket. Health insurance plans will typically cover from 50% to 80% of addiction treatment costs after tax deductibles.
Today’s guide highlights how you can include addiction treatment as a tax-deductible, potentially lowering the amount of money you owe in taxes.

Tax deductions allow you to get reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs associated with things such as healthcare. While there is no universal answer to this question, you may be able to deduct the costs of drug and alcohol rehab services, potentially lowering your tax burden.
IRS reports that you may deduct medical expenses from your taxable income. Rehab for drug addiction or alcoholism is defined as a medical expense.
All of the following are considered valid deductible medical expenses related to substance abuse:
X-rays and other diagnostic tests.
Payments to doctors, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
Payments for inpatient drug or alcohol rehab.
Cost of transportation to a medical facility.
IRS states that deductible medical expenses can include the costs of diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and other medical services.
You may deduct the costs of treatment for substance abuse for yourself or for a dependent like a child or spouse.

When Are Costs for Rehab Tax Deductible?
Before you can deduct any expenses that you incur for addiction treatment, there is one essential stipulation:
The total cost of medical expenses related to drug or alcohol rehab must be greater than 7.5% of your AGI (adjusted gross income). Additionally, you can only deduct amounts over that threshold. For example, if you make $75,000 a year then your medical expenses must exceed $5,625 to qualify as tax deductible. You can deduct the amount in excess of $5,625. If you pay $15,000 for addiction treatment, you can deduct $9,375 – this is the amount over $5,625.
Consider tracking all your expenses and deductions throughout the year. You could also create a spreadsheet that itemizes your deductions.
When it’s time to take care of your income taxes, you will use Schedule A 1040, completing the proper amount on the first line of the form.
If you have a substance use disorder (drug addiction) or alcohol use disorder (alcoholism), these conditions are incurable but treatable. Without treatment, addiction tends to get worse due to the progressive nature of the chronic brain condition. There is no need to allow the perceived cost of treatment to stand in your way, though.

Extremely happy with my time at Renaissance Recovery. I was there for 9 months, and it genuinely changed my life. From the rigorous group settings with an array of facilitators, amazing therapy sessions with Erika, and support of my case manager Ricky, genuinely thank you so much. The staff is very kind. I would say I wish the facility had comfier options for sitting in groups all day, especially for larger folks. But all in all very happy with my time here, well worth it.

The best gift I have ever given myself was choosing to complete long-term treatment at Renaissance Recovery. Clients are exposed to high quality, clinical treatment, balanced with spiritual programming in alignment with the 12 steps. The emphasis on the recovery community is incredibly strong, and the people I surrounded myself with taught me to find joy in my sobriety. Sober Living accommodations were well above average and safe. My life today is unrecognizable from when I first came through their doors, and I reflect on my experience at Renaissance often. Forever grateful for the opportunity they afforded me!
