How much you pay for rehab in Thornton depends on your insurance coverage, the level of care you choose and how long you stay in treatment. The average cost of addiction treatment in Thornton is $56,930. But this total is before insurance benefits are applied, so most people pay far less than this out of pocket.

The following figures give you an idea of how much each level of care costs compared to the others. Again, these averages are before insurance or other financial aid is applied.

Medical detox is the most expensive level of care, at an average of $140,000 statewide.

Long-term inpatient rehab in Colorado averages $50,200.

Outpatient addiction treatment averages $8,300, far less than residential care.

Outpatient methadone treatment is the most affordable option, averaging $7,400.

Outpatient programs are the most common treatment format in Thornton and are more affordable than inptiant care. However, insurance and Health First Colorado can lower your final cost.

Other factors that affect your total cost include:

Treatment setting: Inpatient and residential care cost more than outpatient.
Program length: 30, 60, and 90-day programs scale in price.
Level of care: Medical detox and 24-hour supervision raise costs.
Insurance status: In-network coverage and Medicaid reduce out-of-pocket cost.
Sliding scale: Several local programs adjust fees to your income.
