Substance Abuse Recovery Programs
Residential Treatment
Basic residential treatment is estimated to cost between $2,000 and $25,000 and often includes assessments and 24-hour supervision. Long-term residential services, lasting 60 to 90 days, can cost twice as much.
Luxury rehab facilities may charge more than $25,000 per month for 30 days. Most private treatment centers charge much less.
Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient care allows patients to remain at home and receive treatment. Patients can learn to live at home and avoid the need for a hospital by attending several appointments. Outpatient treatment can be as low as $5,000 for a 3-month program. Outpatient treatment may be available at some facilities for up to $10,000.
Intensive Outpatient Rehab
Intensive Outpatient Treatment is a more complete version of outpatient services. It usually involves several appointments per week that take approximately three hours each. This treatment can be between $3,000 and $10,000 over 30 days.
Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalizations are for patients who can return to their homes each evening after receiving intensive treatment during daytime. PHP usually costs between $350- $450 per daily.

Programs for free
Although treatment centers can be expensive, there are some that offer payment assistance and sliding fee scales. Other facilities offer programs for free, funded by state taxes. These programs sponsored by the state often have long waiting lists.
People in recovery can also turn to support groups like Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. These 12-step programs, which have been in existence for over six decades, have helped millions of people maintain or achieve sobriety by holding regular meetings. There are also free treatment options offered by faith-based groups.
