The honest answer is that nobody can quote you a real number until they have looked at your insurance. What we can do is explain exactly what drives the cost, what your plan is likely to cover, and how to get your actual figure today rather than a guess.
Why you won't find a price list here. Treatment cost depends on your plan, your deductible, how much of it you have already met this year, the level of care you clinically need, and how long you stay. Any facility quoting a flat number before verifying your benefits is guessing — and you are the one who finds out later. We will give you a figure in writing once we have your benefits back, usually the same day.
What determines your cost
| Factor | Why it moves the number |
|---|---|
| Level of care | Medical detox is the most resource-intensive level because it involves 24-hour nursing and physician oversight. Residential costs less per day than detox; outpatient costs less again. |
| Length of stay | Detox is typically three to seven days. What follows is authorised by your insurer in increments, usually reviewed every few days against clinical progress. |
| Your deductible | If you have not met it yet this year, you pay toward it first. If you have already met it — common later in the year — your share can drop sharply. |
| Coinsurance | After the deductible, most plans split the cost by a percentage. This is the number people most often miss when they budget. |
| Out-of-pocket maximum | The ceiling. Once you hit it, your plan covers 100% for the rest of the plan year. For a full episode of care many people reach it, which is why the total is often lower than feared. |
| Network status | Whether a facility is in-network or out-of-network with your plan changes both the rate and your share. |
| Medical complexity | Co-occurring conditions, medication needs, or a complicated withdrawal history can extend the clinically necessary length of stay. |
What insurance usually covers
Substance use disorder treatment is one of the ten essential health benefit categories under the Affordable Care Act. Separately, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires plans that cover it to do so on terms comparable to medical and surgical benefits — they cannot impose harsher limits, higher copays or stricter authorisation rules on addiction treatment than they do on a physical condition.
In practice that means most PPO plans cover medical detox, inpatient treatment and outpatient care at some level. What varies is your share and how much the plan authorises at a time. Verification is what converts "covered" into a number.

Questions worth asking your insurer
If you would rather call your plan yourself, the member services number is on the back of your card. Ask for these specifically — vague questions get vague answers:
- Is inpatient medical detox for substance use disorder a covered benefit on my plan?
- What is my remaining deductible for this plan year?
- What is my coinsurance percentage after the deductible is met?
- What is my out-of-pocket maximum, and how much of it have I already met?
- Is prior authorisation required, and who requests it?
- How does my coverage differ in-network versus out-of-network?
- Is there a limit on days or episodes of care per year?
Write down the reference number for the call and the name of the person you spoke to. It matters if the answer changes later.
If you don't have insurance
Not having coverage narrows the options but it does not close them. Depending on your situation:
- Self-pay. Ask for the self-pay rate directly and get it in writing, including what is and is not included.
- Payment arrangements. Call and ask what is possible — this is a conversation worth having rather than assuming the answer is no.
- Marketplace coverage. If you have had a qualifying life event — job loss, loss of coverage, a move — you may be able to enrol outside open enrolment.
- Medicaid. Texas Medicaid eligibility is narrow for adults, but worth checking if you have dependent children or a disability.
- State-funded and low-cost programmes. Texas HHSC funds treatment through regional providers, and SAMHSA's national helpline (1-800-662-4357) is free, confidential and available 24/7. We will point you toward these if they are the better fit — see also our guide to free and low-cost treatment in Dallas.
How to think about the number
People frequently delay treatment over a cost they have not actually confirmed, and the delay is rarely free — untreated alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular carries real medical risk, and the cost of an emergency admission is not lower than the cost of a planned one.
We are not going to tell you that money doesn't matter. It does, and the number should be clear before you commit. That is the whole point of verifying first.

Cost and payment FAQs
Will my insurance cover the whole cost?
Sometimes, once your out-of-pocket maximum is met. More often you owe some combination of remaining deductible and coinsurance. Verification tells you which.
Why can't you just tell me a price?
Because the same programme costs different people very different amounts depending on their plan and where they are in their deductible year. A single quoted price would be wrong for almost everyone who reads it.
Does using insurance mean my employer finds out?
We do not contact your employer. Your insurer may send an explanation of benefits to the policyholder, so if you are covered under someone else's plan, tell us and we will talk through the options. Your records are also protected by 42 CFR Part 2, the federal rule specific to substance use treatment.
What happens if insurance stops authorising my stay?
Insurers authorise in increments and review against clinical progress. If a continued stay is denied, there is an appeals process, and your clinical team can request a peer-to-peer review with the insurer's physician. We will tell you where things stand rather than letting you find out at discharge.
Is detox cheaper than inpatient rehab?
Per day, no — detox is usually the most expensive level of care because of the medical staffing. But it is also the shortest, so the total is typically smaller than a full residential stay.
