Cost Guide › Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient rehab costs $5,000 to $80,000 per month, depending on facility tier, room type, and location. Length of stay and insurance network status are the two biggest levers on what you actually pay out of pocket.
🆘 Free Help: 1-800-662-4357Inpatient (residential) rehab costs $5,000 to $80,000 per month. State-funded and basic private facilities run $5,000–$15,000/month, mid-tier private facilities run $15,000–$35,000/month, and luxury/executive rehab runs $35,000–$80,000 or more per month. The biggest cost levers are length of stay, amenity tier, room type (private vs. shared), and whether your facility is in-network with your insurance.

Section 1
Residential rehab spans a wide market — from state-funded facilities to resort-style luxury programs. Amenity tier is the single biggest driver of price, and it's largely independent of clinical quality.
Section 2
Program length is the other major cost variable, and it doesn't scale linearly — longer stays typically have a lower cost per day.
| Program Length | Total Cost Range (Mid-Tier) | Approx. Cost Per Day |
|---|---|---|
| 28–30 days | $15,000–$35,000 | $500–$1,150/day |
| 60 days | $25,000–$60,000 | $415–$1,000/day |
| 90 days | $35,000–$85,000 | $390–$945/day |
Facilities often discount per-day rates for longer commitments, and some fixed costs (intake assessment, medical workup) are only charged once regardless of stay length. This diminishing marginal cost is one reason longer stays — which research consistently links to better long-term outcomes — can be more cost-effective than they first appear. See our 30-day rehab cost guide for a detailed breakdown of the most common program length.
Section 3
Room type is one of the simpler cost levers to understand — and one of the easiest to negotiate or ask about directly.
Section 4
Geography changes pricing substantially, largely tracking local cost of living and real estate.
Traveling out-of-state for treatment is common and can meaningfully lower cost — but confirm your insurance still covers care outside your home state before committing. Browse facilities by state in our full directory.
Section 5
Understanding the base package helps you compare facilities accurately and avoid billing surprises.
| Item | Typically Included? |
|---|---|
| Meals and lodging | Yes, all tiers |
| Group and individual therapy | Yes, all tiers |
| Medical monitoring / medication management | Yes, all tiers |
| Private room | Often extra (basic/mid-tier); sometimes standard (luxury) |
| Specialized therapies (equine, art, adventure) | Usually extra or luxury-tier only |
| Off-site excursions / recreational trips | Rare below mid-tier; more common at luxury |
| Extended family programming | Varies widely — ask directly |
Section 6
For inpatient care specifically, in-network vs. out-of-network status is often the single biggest factor in what you actually pay — more than facility tier itself.
Your insurer has a negotiated rate with the facility. You typically pay your deductible plus 10–30% coinsurance. Prior authorization is usually required for residential care.
The facility can bill above what your insurer considers a reasonable rate, and your insurer may cover a much smaller percentage — leaving you responsible for 50% or more of the total bill in some plans.
Covers residential treatment in all 50 states, typically at facilities specifically contracted with the state Medicaid program. See our Medicaid coverage guide.
Full charges apply, though many facilities offer 20–40% self-pay discounts. See our guide to rehab cost without insurance.
Section 7
Inpatient rehab costs $5,000 to $80,000 per month depending on facility tier. State-funded and basic private facilities run $5,000–$15,000/month, mid-tier private facilities run $15,000–$35,000/month, and luxury or executive rehab can run $35,000–$80,000 or more per month.
Insurance, including Medicaid, typically covers most or all of this at in-network facilities. See our insurance coverage guide for details.
No — longer stays typically have a lower marginal cost per day. A 90-day program usually costs less per day than a 30-day stay because facilities offer lower per-day rates for extended commitments, and some fixed costs (intake assessment, initial medical workup) are only charged once.
A 28-day program might run $500–$1,150 per day at a mid-tier facility, while a 90-day program at the same facility often runs $390–$945 per day.
Shared (semi-private) rooms are standard at most facilities and are included in the base program cost. Private rooms typically add $50–$500+ per day depending on facility tier.
Private rooms are more common at mid-tier and luxury programs. Some basic and state-funded facilities only offer shared rooms.
Standard inclusions are meals, lodging, group and individual therapy, and medical monitoring — these are included across every tier.
Extras that may cost more include private rooms, specialized therapies (equine therapy, acupuncture), off-site excursions, gourmet or specialized meal plans, and extended family programming — these are more common at mid-tier and luxury facilities. Always ask for an itemized breakdown before admission.
Yes, but in-network vs. out-of-network status dramatically changes your out-of-pocket cost. In-network inpatient care typically costs 10–30% coinsurance after your deductible.
Out-of-network care can leave you responsible for 50% or more of the total bill, since out-of-network providers can bill above what insurance considers a reasonable rate. Always verify in-network status before admission — see our insurance coverage guide.
Luxury and executive rehab facilities typically cost $35,000 to $80,000 or more per month. These facilities offer private rooms, a high staff-to-patient ratio, resort-style amenities (pools, spas, private chefs), and additional privacy protections often sought by executives, public figures, and high-net-worth individuals.
Clinical quality varies — a high price does not automatically mean better treatment outcomes. Ask about staff credentials and evidence-based treatment models regardless of price tier.
