How Much Does It Cost to Go to Rehab in Pomona, CA?

Substance use disorder treatment isn’t a cookie-cutter solution. Thus, each person—and therefore each treatment plan—is unique. That means costs vary according to the needs and wants of each individual. However, several factors influence how much you’ll pay for rehab in Pomona, CA. Some of these factors include:

• Level of care. The level of care plays a significant role in costs. For example, inpatient care costs considerably more than outpatient treatment simply because patients live in the rehab center 24/7 during treatment.
• Amenities. Treatment facilities come in all shapes and sizes. An inpatient care center may offer luxury amenities such as a gym, swimming pool, and private suites, which typically cost more than treatment programs with minimal amenities.
• Location. Overhead costs for staff and operating expenses vary according to region. Thus, location plays a role in the fees each facility charges.
• Type of insurance coverage and tier level. Insurance plans and coverage vary significantly. So if you have insurance, you may pay deductibles, co-pays, etc., and some services may be covered while others are not.
• Length of treatment. The longer the treatment duration, the more it will usually cost.
• Payment type (e.g., insurance versus out of pocket). As described below, a host of payment options are available. The amount you pay out of pocket is influenced by the type of payment you provide.

Clearly, then, it’s difficult to provide accurate guidelines for how much the average person will pay for substance use disorder treatment. However, it’s easy to determine your costs at an American Addiction Centers facility. Admissions navigators at can not only verify your insurance and review various payment options, but also discuss treatment solutions, pricing, and more.

Keep in mind, costs don’t need to be a barrier to treatment.  Many facilities offer financing options and/or sliding-fee scales. Learn more about payment options below.

Does Insurance Pay for Rehab in Pomona, CA?

The Affordable Care Act (ACC) requires most health insurance companies to provide essential services, including substance use disorder treatment.⁴ This covers both employer-sponsored group plans and those purchased via the healthcare marketplace.

Additionally, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) states that health plans cannot impose unreasonable limits on these services. In effect, the law prohibits insurance providers from making treatment so expensive that policy holders cannot afford it.⁵

Thanks to these two laws, almost all healthcare insurance policies cover treatment for substance use disorders at least to some degree. How much they pay toward the expense depends on the coverage provided in the policy.

Also note that some plans require you to use an in-network facility for your treatment. If you choose to go out-of-network, you may have to pay a larger percentage of the expenses.
