From now on, there are ways to claim the cost of drug and alcohol rehabilitation on your tax return, as long as you list your deductions on Schedule A. In fact, any medical and dental costs are deductible in the same way, provided they exceed more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income for the year. Please note that the question of “are drug rehabilitation expenses tax-deductible? is one of the best questions from a professional accountant or tax preparer, all of which can help you navigate this complex financial problem when it's time to prepare your tax returns. A reputable drug and alcohol treatment center will provide you with a detailed list of charges for your treatment or that of a loved one, so you have that paperwork when it comes time to prepare your taxes, hopefully when the treatment you are paying for has changed a life for the better.
Drug rehabilitation is a qualifying tax-deductible medical cost, as long as medical costs exceed 7.5 percent of your annual gross income. This means all medical costs, not just the cost of rehabilitation.
