Why rehab pricing isn’t the same for everyone

What influences the price of rehab?

There’s no one-size-fits-all cost for addiction treatment. Your care should reflect your needs. The final cost depends on several personal and practical factors, from how long you stay to the type of program you’re admitted into.

Program length

Longer programs involve more therapy, accommodation, and support, and are usually priced at a lower daily rate than shorter stays.

Facility location

Geelong and Essendon offer different levels of care, with pricing that reflects the medical, clinical, and therapeutic support available at each site.

Treatment type

Detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, and aftercare services all have different care models and inclusions, which affect cost.

Funding method

Private health, superannuation, payment plans, or government support each come with different processes and funding rules.

Additional services

Some services, like psychiatric consultations, court reports, or family programs, come at an extra cost depending on your needs.
