03 Cost

This facility does not publish its prices, and no public record holds them. Almost no treatment facility in the United States publishes a price, and no state or federal register records one.

The best available figures come from a study in which researchers telephoned 160 treatment centers posing as a family member: an average of $878 per day, with half requiring payment before admission, averaging $28,731.

  3. What is excluded — medication, laboratory work, psychiatry, transport.
  4. Who pays the balance if insurance denies after admission.
