Alpine Recovery Lodge lists clear base program rates before insurance is applied. Our current standard 30-day base rates are $21,000 for Residential Treatment, $14,000 for PHP, and $4,500 for IOP.
Those are the full base program prices before insurance. What a family may actually pay can be lower if insurance helps cover treatment, but coverage is never the same for every person. Final out-of-pocket cost depends on the plan, deductible, coinsurance, authorization, network status, and how much care is clinically needed.
We want to be very clear: we do not want families guessing. We review insurance as carefully as we can and explain estimated costs before admission whenever possible.
These are Alpine Recovery Lodge’s standard base rates before insurance benefits are applied.
| Program | Base Cost | Billing Note |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Treatment | $21,000 / 30 days | Base self-pay program rate before insurance adjustments, authorizations, or plan-specific cost sharing. |
| Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) | $14,000 / 30 days | Base self-pay rate before insurance benefits or patient responsibility are calculated. |
| Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) | $4,500 / 30 days | Base self-pay rate before insurance review and any plan limits are applied. |
These numbers are the clearest starting point. They are the base rates, not a promise of what every family will pay.
Final cost depends on much more than the program name. Insurance plans apply different rules to different people.
| Cost Factor | Why It Changes Price |
|---|---|
| Level of care | Residential, PHP, and IOP are different levels of treatment and do not cost the same. |
| Length of stay | A 30-day stay is different from a shorter or longer treatment plan. |
| Deductible | If a deductible has not been met, the family may owe more before insurance pays at a higher level. |
| Coinsurance or copays | Even when treatment is covered, the plan may still require a patient share. |
| Authorization requirements | Some plans require prior approval or continued review for certain levels of care. |
| Network status | In-network benefits often reduce costs, but this still depends on the exact plan design. |
| Clinical needs | Dual diagnosis, medication support, or more intensive treatment needs can affect the full care plan. |
| Coverage exclusions | Some services, dates, or program components may not be covered the same way under every policy. |
Alpine Recovery Lodge is in network with many plans, but the most important detail is still the exact policy. Employer groups, state rules, and plan versions can all change coverage.
If your insurance is not listed please call because we're in network with many more plans that are not listed above.
Insurance verification is a confidential review of your benefits so you can get a clearer picture of possible coverage and estimated cost before treatment begins.
Verification helps, but it is still an estimate. Final claims can depend on ongoing insurance review, clinical documentation, and the services actually provided.
Families usually want straight answers. These are some of the most important questions to ask.
No. Many plans help reduce the cost, but coverage varies a lot. Some families owe much less after insurance, while others may still owe a meaningful amount because of deductibles, coinsurance, or benefit limits.
No. The listed numbers are base program rates before insurance. Your final amount may be lower or, depending on the situation, different from the base estimate if coverage, length of stay, or services change.
In many cases, yes. We work to review benefits and explain estimated patient responsibility before arrival whenever possible.
A high deductible can increase what you owe before insurance begins paying at a higher level. That is one of the biggest reasons family costs can vary.
Out-of-network situations can still have benefits in some cases, but they often work differently and may leave the family with a higher share of cost.
Total cost can change if treatment continues beyond the standard rate period. Insurance review, clinical need, and the recommended next level of care all matter.
Yes, with proper permission. We can discuss insurance and cost information with approved family members.
The best next step is to verify insurance or speak with admissions. That gives you the clearest path forward.
