Admissions / Cost
Rehab costs in Washington depend on the level of care, the number of weeks, and what your insurance pays. Mountain View Health provides outpatient care only, and we publish no price list because treatment costs depend on your plan.
The Short Answer
Many people type "how much does rehab cost washington" into a search bar, and the honest answer is that no single number applies. The level of care sets how many hours a week you attend, the number of weeks sets the total, and your insurance or self-pay status sets who pays.
Because every plan and every assessment is different, any figure you see online for the cost of rehab is only an average. A free benefits check shows your own treatment costs.
Here is what to expect when you ask us about price:
Cost Drivers
Partial hospitalization runs 25 to 30 hours a week, intensive outpatient 9 to 12, and outpatient 1 to 3. More weekly hours means more clinical time, so the program cost rises with intensity.
Your clinical team sets the length of care with you based on your assessment and progress, so your total treatment expenses depend on how many weeks you need.
Your insurance coverage decides how much of the cost your plan pays, and a clinic in network for your plan usually costs you less. Some plans require prior authorization for partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient. If you pay on your own, admissions reviews your treatment options after the benefits check.

Outpatient and Insurance
Outpatient treatment has no overnight stay, so your cost does not include housing or 24-hour staffing. Inpatient and residential care includes a bed and round-the-clock staff, so inpatient rehab and residential treatment are priced differently.
Mountain View Health provides outpatient programs only. It does not provide medical detox, inpatient rehab, or residential treatment, so this page cannot tell you what they cost. If your assessment shows you need medical detox first, admissions coordinates it elsewhere, and that provider will quote its own treatment expenses.
These words appear on your plan and on any benefits breakdown:
Public Coverage and the Law
Apple Health is Washington's Medicaid program, a publicly funded program run by the Washington Health Care Authority. Its behavioral health benefits can pay for outpatient substance use treatment when medical necessity is documented. The Health Care Authority also lists publicly funded treatment and recovery support services on its behavioral health page.
Payment depends on your managed care plan and on whether a clinic has a contract with it. If you have Apple Health, call the behavioral health number on your member card first. If you have Apple Health and a private plan, tell admissions about both, because coordination of benefits can change who pays first. Mountain View Health cannot promise that any plan will pay.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, federal parity law generally stops plans that cover mental health and substance use treatment from setting stricter limits on it than on medical and surgical care.
Parity covers mental health and substance use benefits, but it does not guarantee any specific benefit, so your plan documents and your benefits check still decide what you owe. The guide to paying for rehab in Washington covers coverage options in more depth.
Before You Enroll
Ask every clinic the same questions so you can compare treatment options on equal terms. If you have both an addiction and a mental health condition, read about dual diagnosis treatment in Seattle. You can also check which insurance plans we work with.
Common Questions
It depends on the level of care, the number of weeks, and your insurance coverage. Mountain View Health does not publish a price list, because two people in the same program can owe different amounts. A free benefits check shows what your own plan covers.
Intensive outpatient runs 9 to 12 hours a week over 3 to 5 days, so it usually costs less than partial hospitalization and more than standard outpatient treatment. The exact program cost depends on your plan and the number of weeks you need.
Partial hospitalization runs 25 to 30 hours a week over 5 to 6 days, while intensive outpatient runs 9 to 12 hours over 3 to 5 days. More weekly clinical time, including same-day psychiatric care, generally means higher treatment costs.
Not necessarily. Virtual IOP has the same 9 to 12 hours a week as in-person IOP, and plans can pay for telehealth differently. Ask admissions and your plan how each option would be billed.
It is the most you pay in a plan year for covered, in-network care. Deductibles, copays, and coinsurance count toward it. After you reach it, your plan pays covered in-network costs for the rest of the year.
You get a written breakdown of what your plan covers for partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs, where your deductible stands, and what gap may remain. It usually arrives within 1 to 2 hours when we can run your plan. There is no obligation.
No. Verification shows what your plan says today. Your insurer makes the final decision on each claim, and some plans require prior authorization for partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient.
Apple Health, Washington's Medicaid program, includes behavioral health benefits that can pay for outpatient substance use treatment when medical necessity is documented. Payment depends on your managed care plan and on whether a clinic has a contract with it. Mountain View Health cannot promise that Apple Health will pay, so check with your plan first and then call us.
Outpatient treatment has no overnight stay, so the cost does not include housing or 24-hour staffing. Mountain View Health provides outpatient programs only, so this page cannot quote what inpatient rehab, residential treatment, or medical detox cost.
It can. Medication-assisted treatment can be billed differently from therapy, sometimes under a pharmacy benefit instead of a medical benefit. Ask admissions and your plan how any medication in your treatment plan would be billed, because coverage differs by plan.
Dual diagnosis treatment plans for addiction and mental health care together, and the benefits check reports what your plan covers for outpatient care. Ask how mental health services are covered under your plan so the breakdown shows both.
Ask whether the clinic is in network for your plan, whether your plan requires prior authorization, which level of care is recommended and how many hours a week it runs, and what you would owe after your deductible. Ask every clinic the same questions so you can compare treatment options fairly.
