TRUSTED CONTENTAddiction treatment in Indiana costs roughly $35 to $730 a day before insurance, depending on how much care you need. Indiana programs quoted RehabSeekers.com $5,500–$22,000 for a month of residential treatment, with a typical price of $13,750. Medical detox runs $200–$600 a day, partial hospitalization (PHP) $6,500–$12,000 a month, intensive outpatient (IOP) $2,500–$8,000 and standard outpatient care $1,000–$4,500.
Our own numbers: RehabSeekers.com commissioned a team of researchers to phone treatment programs in several Indiana cities, and in every other state, and record the self-pay prices quoted for 2027. The Healthy Indiana Plan, a state-regulated insurance policy or DMHA funding can bring your share far below these figures. How the prices were gathered.
Every state that borders Indiana charges more for residential rehab. Typical prices in Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio run $1,750 to $3,250 a month above Indiana’s $13,750.

Many states quoted similar prices, so even modest gaps between neighbors are a real finding. Coverage can still outweigh price: check whether HIP, DMHA funding or your insurer will pay before choosing a program in another state.

Does the Healthy Indiana Plan pay for drug and alcohol rehab?
Yes. The Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) covers adults ages 19 to 64 who meet its income limits. In 2026 the limit for a single adult is $22,026 a year. HIP is one of four Indiana Medicaid programs, alongside Hoosier Healthwise, Hoosier Care Connect and Indiana PathWays for Aging, and the residential benefits of Indiana’s addiction waiver apply in all four.
| Service | Indiana Medicaid | Self-pay price in Indiana |
|---|---|---|
| Outpatient, IOP and partial hospitalization | Covered under the Medicaid State Plan | $1,000–$4,500 (outpatient), $2,500–$8,000 (IOP), $6,500–$12,000 (PHP) a month |
| Withdrawal management | Covered, including in larger residential facilities under the waiver | $200–$600 a day |
| Residential treatment (ASAM 3.1 and 3.5) | Short-term stays covered; room and board not allowable unless the facility qualifies as inpatient | $5,500–$22,000 a month |
| Opioid treatment programs | Methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone covered; no prior authorization | Not priced in our survey |

- HIP has a long history. Indiana created HIP in 2008. Its Medicaid expansion version, HIP 2.0, began coverage on February 1, 2015. FSSA said in its 2026 waiver draft that nearly 600,000 Hoosiers are enrolled.
- Residential care runs through a federal waiver. CMS approved Indiana’s substance use disorder waiver on February 1, 2018. It lets Medicaid pay for short-term residents of larger residential facilities, known as IMDs, in fee-for-service and in all four managed care programs. Indiana added residential levels 3.1 and 3.5 under that waiver. The current authority runs through June 30, 2027, under a temporary CMS extension.
- Health plans deliver care. HIP, Hoosier Healthwise and Hoosier Care Connect members get services through a health plan. Indiana Medicaid lists Anthem, CareSource, MHS and UnitedHealthcare as its plans.
- Copays. FSSA says only HIP members have copayment requirements among Indiana’s Medicaid groups. Ask your plan what applies to the addiction services you need.
- Applying. Apply online through the FSSA Benefits Portal.
HIP changes in 2026 and 2027
Starting January 1, 2027, HIP members must log 80 hours a month of work or other qualifying activities. FSSA lists being in a drug or alcohol treatment program as an exemption, and having a substance use disorder counts toward medical frailty. Senate Enrolled Act 2 (2025) limits HIP enrollment to what state funding allows. Separately, state law ends HIP if the federal match falls below 90% and Indiana’s hospital assessment fee is not adjusted to cover the gap. FSSA has also proposed HIP 3.0, which would replace POWER accounts with copays at the point of service, capped at 5% of income. HIP 3.0 is a proposal: FSSA planned to submit it to CMS by September 30, 2026, and it needs federal approval before it takes effect.

How can you get rehab in Indiana without insurance?
Start with a community mental health center (CMHC). Indiana law and their DMHA contracts require CMHCs to offer a full continuum of mental health and addiction services. DMHA aims its funding at Hoosiers with the greatest need and the least access to care: people with no insurance, or with too little, and incomes up to 200% of the poverty level.
- Residential gap funding. DMHA uses federal block grant money to pay for residential care at ASAM levels 3.1 and 3.5 for people below 200% of the poverty level who can’t pay, and for pregnant women and women with dependent children. This funding can’t pay for a service another payer covers, and clients must keep applying for insurance.
- Recovery Works for justice-involved Hoosiers. This state-funded program pays for substance use treatment, mental health care and recovery supports for people involved in the justice system who are uninsured or underinsured. DMHA publishes a referral process for criminal justice partners.
RehabSeekers.com lists both kinds of care side by side: browse state-funded and sliding-scale programs, or private centers that offer self-pay rates.
How much does detox, and a 30-, 60- or 90-day stay, cost in Indiana?
Many people begin with medical detox, which Indiana programs price by the day at $200–$600. After that, Indiana self-pay rates put a 30-day residential stay at $5,500–$22,000 and 90 days at $16,500–$66,000.
Detox
Detox matters most for alcohol, opioid and benzodiazepine withdrawal, where medical supervision makes the process safer.
| Detox length | Estimated total before insurance |
|---|---|
| 3 days | $600–$1,800 |
| 5 days | $1,000–$3,000 |
| 7 days | $1,400–$4,200 |
| 10 days | $2,000–$6,000 |
Residential stays
The monthly price usually covers room, meals, counseling and nursing. Compare 30-day, 60-day and 90-day programs, and look at dual diagnosis care if you need mental health treatment too.
| Length of stay | Estimated total before insurance | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| 30 days | $5,500–$22,000 | A standard short-term stay, often followed by PHP or IOP |
| 60 days | $11,000–$44,000 | More time to stabilize and practice coping skills |
| 90 days | $16,500–$66,000 | NIDA says most individuals need at least 3 months of treatment |
A full step-down course
A week of detox, a month of residential care, a month of PHP and two months of IOP add up to $18,400–$54,200 in Indiana before insurance. Each step down costs less per day, so its timing shapes the total. See PHP and IOP programs.
| Stage | Length | Estimated cost before insurance |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox | 7 days | $1,400–$4,200 |
| Residential treatment | 30 days | $5,500–$22,000 |
| Partial hospitalization | 30 days | $6,500–$12,000 |
| Intensive outpatient | 60 days | $5,000–$16,000 |
| Full course of care | 127 days | $18,400–$54,200 |

Price your own Indiana treatment plan
Select a level of care, then move the slider to the number of days you expect. For detox, the tool multiplies Indiana’s daily price (up to 14 days). For residential care, PHP, IOP and outpatient care, it takes Indiana’s monthly price and prorates it to the days you choose.
Estimates only, before insurance. Not every center offers every level of care.
Do Indiana insurance plans have to cover addiction treatment?
Indiana’s parity law covers how insurers handle addiction care more than whether they offer it. Under Indiana Code § 27-8-5-15.8, an accident and sickness insurance policy that covers mental illness or substance abuse treatment can’t add separate nonquantitative treatment limits to that care if they don’t apply to medical and surgical care in the same benefit classification.
Nonquantitative limits restrict care without a dollar or visit cap; prior authorization is one example. Insurers must also file a yearly report and compliance analysis with the Indiana Department of Insurance by December 31. These rules apply to Indiana-regulated insurance policies. Self-funded employer plans generally follow federal parity rules instead. With either kind of plan, you still owe your deductible, copays and coinsurance.
| Route | What you pay | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Healthy Indiana Plan or other Indiana Medicaid | Low; FSSA says only HIP members have copayment requirements | HIP work requirements start January 1, 2027, with an exemption for people in treatment |
| DMHA-funded care at a community mental health center | Reduced or no cost if you qualify | Aimed at uninsured or underinsured Hoosiers with incomes up to 200% of the poverty level |
| Recovery Works | Paid by the state program if you qualify | For uninsured or underinsured people involved in the justice system |
| Indiana-regulated insurance policy | Your deductible, copays and coinsurance | No separate limits on addiction care that don’t apply to medical care (IC 27-8-5-15.8) |
| Self-pay | $5,500–$22,000 a month residential; $2,500–$8,000 a month IOP | Ask what the quote includes and whether detox is billed separately |

How many Hoosiers need addiction treatment?
SAMHSA estimates that 956,000 Indiana residents age 12 and older, or 16.55%, had a past-year substance use disorder (2023–2024 average). In 2024, 79.97% of Hoosiers classified as needing substance use treatment did not receive it, about 951,000 people. SAMHSA labels that measure “not receiving substance use treatment among those classified as needing substance use treatment.”
Overdose deaths have fallen. The Indiana Department of Health’s 2024 Indiana Overdose and Suicide Report (December 2025) counts 1,618 Indiana residents who died of unintentional or undetermined-intent drug overdoses in 2024, a rate of 24.1 per 100,000. That is down from 2,130 deaths (32.5 per 100,000) in 2023.

How we collected Indiana rehab prices
Researchers commissioned by RehabSeekers.com called treatment centers by phone in all 50 states, at least five per state and in more than one city, and asked for self-pay prices at each level of care. The Indiana ranges run from the lowest to the highest quote Indiana centers gave.
- The question: what each level of care would cost for admission in early 2027, asked of programs directly rather than copied from other websites.
- The timeline: calls began in October 2026, and final checks ran through January 2027.
- The math: detox totals multiply the daily price. Totals for every other level prorate the monthly price by day.
- Coverage facts come from Indiana FSSA, DMHA, Indiana Medicaid, CMS, the Indiana Code, SAMHSA, NIDA and the Indiana Department of Health, all listed under Sources.
