Paying for Treatment
The cost of treatment at Lifeskills varies based on the length of stay and the level of care required. Unlike most programs, Lifeskills offers a truly individualized, open-ended length of stay with an internal step-down program and seamless communication among teams.
As insurance plans can differ significantly, many clients use a combination of private pay and insurance benefits to cover treatment costs. Before treatment begins, our admissions team will help you understand out-of-pocket expenses associated with your anticipated length of stay and assist in determining your out-of-network benefits.
Lifeskills proudly supports our nation’s veterans as a Community Care Network (CCN) provider.
*Please note that we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.
