Self-pay& addiction treatment

What's typically covered

Paying out of pocket — without billing insurance. Many programs offer payment plans, sliding-scale fees, or scholarships, and publicly funded programs may be low- or no-cost. The ranges below are typical self-pay estimates.

Covered services depend on medical necessity and your specific plan.

What will it cost?

Self-pay cost depends on the program, length of stay, and amenities. See the typical ranges below — and ask programs about payment plans, sliding scale, and scholarships.

Typical self-pay ranges (general estimates, not a quote):

Medical detox$250–$800 / day (outpatient detox often $1,000–$1,500 total; medical inpatient detox $5,000+)
Residential / inpatient$6,000–$30,000 for a 30-day program (≈$12,500 average); 60–90 days $30,000+
Partial hospitalization (PHP)$350–$450 / day
Intensive outpatient (IOP)$250–$650 / day (≈$3,000–$10,000 per program)
Standard outpatient$2,000–$10,000 per program, by intensity

These are general industry estimates to set expectations — not a price quote. Actual cost and coverage must be confirmed with the facility and your insurer. With insurance, you typically pay far less than self-pay.
