How Much Does Rehab Cost?
Understanding the Financial Aspects of Addiction Treatment
Understanding the Financial Side of Addiction Treatment at Restart Recovery
At Restart Recovery, we know that one of the first questions many individuals and families ask is: “How much does rehab cost?” While the value of comprehensive addiction treatment is immeasurable, understanding the financial aspects of care is a key part of planning for recovery.
The cost of alcohol and drug rehab can vary depending on several factors, including the type of treatment, facility amenities, length of stay, and whether or not insurance is used. Below, we break down the costs and options available to help you make an informed decision.
Types of Addiction Treatment and Their Costs
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient rehab is generally more affordable, often ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 for a 3-month program. It allows individuals to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions several times per week.
Inpatient and Residential Treatment
Our residential treatment programs at Restart Recovery offer immersive care and are priced based on duration and level of care. A 30-day stay may range from $6,000 to $30,000. Extended programs, such as 60 or 90 days, particularly those with luxury rehab services, can range from $12,000 to $60,000 or more.
Detox Services
Medical detox is often the first step in recovery. The cost for detox services can range from $300 to $800 per day, depending on the individual's needs, the substance involved, and the length of the withdrawal process.
What Affects Rehab Pricing?
Several variables influence the cost of treatment, including:
Length of Program – Longer stays typically cost more but can lead to more stable outcomes.
Location – Rehab centers in areas like Calabasas or other high-demand regions may have higher costs.
Type of Facility – Luxury rehab centers, such as Restart Recovery, offer private accommodations and premium amenities.
Level of Care – Programs offering dual-diagnosis care or intensive therapy require more resources and clinical expertise, which may affect pricing.
3. Insurance Coverage and Financing Options
Many clients at Restart Recovery use health insurance to help cover the cost of addiction treatment. If we are in-network with your provider, your out-of-pocket expenses may be significantly reduced. We’ll gladly help you verify your benefits and walk you through your coverage options.
For those without insurance, we offer:
Flexible payment plans
Sliding scale fees based on income

Is Rehab Worth the Cost?
Absolutely. Investing in drug and alcohol rehab not only supports physical and mental healing—it can prevent future medical bills, legal issues, and employment disruption. Research shows that every $1 spent on addiction recovery saves up to $7 in societal costs.
Choosing to get help is a powerful step toward restoring relationships, improving health, and reclaiming life goals.
