What Does Oxycontin Rehab Cost?
The cost of Oxycontin rehab varies significantly depending on the facility. On average, rehab costs about $3,800 per month. This average includes low-cost programs though the VA (United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs) and other government programs.
Private rehab programs start at about $7,500 per month on the low end and go up from there, depending on how much someone is willing to pay. High-quality programs run in the range of $10,000 to $20,000 per month, while more exclusive centers can cost upward of $80,000 to $120,000 per month.
Does Insurance Cover Rehab?
Whether or not insurance will cover rehabilitation for Oxycontin addiction depends on both the insurance company and the specific treatment center. Some insurance providers, such as Medicare and Medicaid, have a list of rehab centers and programs that they will cover. Anyone can go to whichever program they prefer even without insurance, but they may have to pay out of pocket if it is not a preferred center of their insurer.
There are several different types of recovery programs that charge in different ways:
- Free recovery programs — some are faith-based, and some are not the highest quality but they offer rehab care at no charge.
- Government assistance programs — rehab centers operated by or subsidized by government programs.
- Employee assistance programs — some workplaces provide in-house mental health and addiction resources for employees.
- Sliding fee programs — the cost of these programs is based on a patient’s income and ability to pay.
- Private pay programs — more expensive but may offer more specific treatment options at new facilities.
