Rehab Costs Vary Greatly
Rehab costs depend on the level of care needed - outpatient, inpatient, or intensive outpatient. Expenses range from a few thousand dollars for short-term outpatient programs to over $60,000 for extended, medically-supervised inpatient stays. Insurance coverage significantly impacts out-of-pocket costs.

- Length of Stay: Longer programs cost more.
