How Much Does Rehab Cost in Arizona?
Choosing to attend addiction treatment is a big step. Sadly, many people are turned away due to the price. The cost of rehab can be high, but there are options to keep your out-of-pocket costs low.
Not all treatment plans cost the same. The cost of rehab in Arizona is affected by:
- Level of care
- Medication
- Insurance
- Luxury
Each of these factors can make addiction treatment more or less expensive.
What Affects the Cost of Rehab Treatment?
A lot can change the cost of addiction treatment. We'll outline the biggest factors that contribute to the price of a rehab program.
Don’t let the cost scare you away from getting the treatment you deserve. The bottom line, if you need treatment, there is a way for you to receive it.
Level of Care
Most of the time when someone says “rehab,” they’re likely thinking of inpatient, or residential care. While this isn’t the only option for addiction treatment, it’s one of the most common. Clients live at the treatment facility, typically for 30 days, and have access to round-the-clock care. Inpatient rehabs require extra costs to cover:
- Living facilities
- Around-the-clock care
- Food
All these make inpatient treatment programs more expensive than outpatient treatment. However, a lot of people will benefit more from inpatient therapy than outpatient therapy.
Getting away to live in a new place and focus on your treatment is very beneficial.
However, depending on a person’s needs, there are other options for addiction treatment. Intensive outpatient programs will still give you access to personalized treatment and the expertise of those treating you, but you won’t be paying for overnight care.
Partial hospitalization programs also offer addiction treatment without having to check into a treatment facility.
Medication
Addiction changes brain chemistry, making it impossible for the brain to function properly without it. This means quitting cold turkey isn’t always the best option.
Medical detox might be the best approach when starting treatment. Other medications including antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers may be prescribed for your treatment. Medication could increase the overall cost of treatment, but it will be worth it in the long run.
At Sequoia Behavioral Health we will work with you to find the right prescriptions for you. We do this by using pharmacogenetic testing to find what medication and dose works best for your body. We’ll also manage your medications to make sure they’re working correctly.

Insurance
Under the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA), all insurance plans must cover behavioral health services and drug rehabilitation services. However, how much your insurance will cover is dependent on your insurance company and your plan. Your insurance company may also want documentation of a substance use disorder diagnosis.
No matter your insurance plan, your insurance company cannot charge you more for pre-existing mental and behavioral health conditions. That means you won’t be penalized for being uninsured for some time.
If you’re looking for insurance coverage before you look for a rehab program, you can browse the marketplace for a plan that works for you. Open enrollment begins in November and ends in mid-January.
Insurance is a pain point for a lot of people—Waiting on hold, trying to navigate all the acronyms and confusing often arbitrary language can be discouraging. The good thing is you don’t have to confirm insurance by yourself.
Our admissions office at Sequoia can verify your insurance for you. You can even start the process online by providing your insurance information. If you don’t understand or can’t fill out certain parts of the form, don’t worry, we’ll call you back to collect any information you miss.

Luxury
Some addiction treatment centers offer luxury alongside treatment. These facilities will be more expensive than other facilities that offer comfortable living.
For example, some facilities are located by the beach or in other “high-value” locations. They may have built-in saunas, on-site gyms, and staffed massage therapists.
While these facilities offer nice spaces and extra amenities, that doesn’t mean their program works better or worse. You don’t need to spend extra to receive high-quality treatment.
Arizona has areas that would be considered within this luxury category. Sedona in particular is known for its beautiful red rocks and holistic retreats. Going to treatment in Sedona would be more expensive than getting treatment in the Phoenix area. But once again, the location of a facility can be an added benefit, but doesn’t have a bearing on how effective treatment is.
