The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient sit between residential and standard outpatient care, at a few hours a day. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.

There is often something available sooner at a different level of care than the one you called about. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.
