How much does rehab cost in Tennessee?

Cost depends mainly on the level of care and your coverage. Outpatient counseling is the least expensive; intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization cost more; residential rehab and medically managed detox cost the most because they include 24-hour care. With insurance, your share is set by your deductible, copays and out-of-pocket maximum, so verify benefits with the program before admission.

Can I go to rehab in a different state?

Yes. Many people travel for treatment, for example to put distance between themselves and triggers or to reach a specialized program. Check whether your plan covers out-of-state or out-of-network care first: Medicaid generally covers only in-state providers, while many private plans have national networks.
