A Look at Rehab Costs and the Accessible Programs at Purpose
The costs associated with attending addiction treatment centers can cause sticker shock for individuals and families affected by drug and alcohol addiction. Price is one of several barriers people face when looking for addiction rehab for themselves or someone they love, but this doesn’t have to be the case. We’re here to help.
Purpose Healing Center accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicaid (known as AHCCCS in Arizona). This means that your insurance provider will often pay for drug and alcohol treatment at our Arizona facilities in Scottsdale and Phoenix.
Let’s answer the question, “How much does rehab cost in Arizona?” first. Then, we’ll talk about using your insurance at our facility, the factors that affect rehab treatment costs, and getting help for co-occurring mental health concerns while in treatment.
What is the Cost of Drug Rehab in Arizona?
Substance abuse treatment costs more in Arizona on average than it does in other US states. Without insurance, the average cost of drug rehab in Arizona is $56,789 per individual.
This number refers specifically to residential inpatient rehab costs in Arizona.
United States Drug Rehab Cost
How much does drug addiction treatment cost across the United States? Here is the average cost of detox, residential inpatient, and outpatient treatment programs in the US.
- Detoxification (detox) programs: $14,001+*
- Residential programs: $50,469+
- Outpatient programs: $8,386+
Again, this is without insurance. The total cost of rehab will depend largely on the treatment facility you choose–for example, luxury rehabs are often more expensive than other facilities.
Treatment facilities like Purpose Healing Center that accept health insurance can help people like you get low-cost to free rehab services. Even better, the programs at our Joint-Commission accredited Arizona alcohol and drug rehab center provide top-quality support.

4 Factors Affecting Drug Rehab Costs
Aside from the specific treatment center or facility you choose, what will impact your drug rehab costs in Arizona the most? Here are the top four things to consider.
1) The Type of Program Being Sought
Outpatient programs are almost always less expensive than inpatient treatment options. The reason for this is that staying at inpatient rehab centers involves paying for room and board, meals, and amenities in addition to an intensive therapy schedule.
Outpatient rehab programs like partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient treatment programs are enough for some people. Others benefit most from or need to attend inpatient rehab as a starting level of care, even if they attend outpatient treatment later.
2) Inpatient vs Outpatient Detox
Before entering a therapy program, you will likely require detox services of some kind. Some treatment centers only offer outpatient detox, which could be suitable for you, depending on your situation.
However, while outpatient detox is often cheaper, it is not the right choice for many people, and it is still too expensive for most without the help of insurance coverage.
You may experience dangerous withdrawal symptoms in some cases. Additionally, you may face a significant potential for relapse during the initial (acute) withdrawal process. Detox usually lasts about one week at Purpose Healing Center, but it is well worth it.
Attending a dedicated and accredited medical detox at our facility as a precursor to your inpatient or outpatient rehab program means that all parts of your treatment will be covered and seamless.
3) Length of Stay
If you opt to attend an addiction treatment facility not covered by insurance, the costs can add up quickly. Although staying in a treatment program for a shorter time period could cost less, it may not give you the time you need to heal.
Unfortunately, not having enough time in treatment to build coping skills and learn new patterns could result in a greater risk of relapse and other negative outcomes.
4) Health Insurance Coverage
Health insurance covers treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. Your health insurance benefits can help you cover the cost of treatment programs for alcohol or drug abuse for a clinically appropriate time period.
Your health insurance plan can also help you pay for medication-assisted treatment (MAT), other prescription drugs, and aftercare services. For example, continued individual therapy after rehab.
The Importance of Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders in Substance Abuse Treatment
Substance use disorders are not the only concern affecting people in Arizona and across the United States. Other mental health conditions are also prevalent in the state and country alike. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) asserts that people facing mental health conditions are at a higher risk of developing a problem with substance abuse.
Common conditions that can co-occur with substance use include but aren’t limited to trauma disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive or related disorders. When rehab facilities address both substance use and mental health concerns, it is called dual diagnosis treatment.
Our healthcare providers know that when your needs are addressed thoroughly, and as a whole person, it can give you a stronger skill set and set you up for long-term success.
Research on substance abuse and recovery shows us that dual-diagnosis treatment options sincerely make a difference, leading to a better quality of life and other positive outcomes.
Does Insurance Cover Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
Insurance does cover dual diagnosis treatment. However, like with using your insurance to cover the cost of rehab without a co-occurring disorder, you must choose a treatment center providing dual diagnosis treatment services covered by the health insurance plan you intend to use.
Purpose Healing Center offers dual diagnosis treatment in our residential treatment program, partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient program, and outpatient program.
Like standalone addiction or mental health treatment at our facility, all dual diagnosis programs at our treatment center are covered by insurance.

FAQs Regarding Drug and Alcohol Rehab Costs in Arizona
How many days do you get in rehab?
People stay in rehab for varying lengths of time. The length of your treatment stay might impact your total treatment costs, depending on the type of insurance plan you have.
That said, you will likely remain in treatment for about 28-90 days. If you need a longer treatment stay, there are long-term rehab programs that can help.
How much does rehabilitation cost vs punishment?
Putting individuals in prison typically costs more than rehab services do. For this reason and others, it is highly recommended that people enter probation programs rather than prison as much as possible.
