How Much Does Rehab in Costa Rica Cost in 2026?

The short answer: all-inclusive residential treatment at Costa Rica Treatment Center (CRTC) costs between $8,950 and $14,950 per 30 days in 2026, depending on the center and the room. For comparison, premium private-pay residential programs in the United States can charge $90,000 or more a month.

CRTC prices for 2026 (per 30 days)

• San José (Rohrmoser), shared room: $8,950
• San José (Rohrmoser), private room: $9,950
• Riverside (Atenas), private room: $14,350
• Riverside (Atenas), private room with porch: $14,950

Every room at Riverside is private. San José offers shared and private rooms in the city. Compare the two centers.

What the price includes

• 24/7 supervision and support staff
• The full clinical program, with individual and group therapy
• Psychiatric evaluation and support
• Holistic and experiential therapies, outings and outdoor activities
• Gym, yoga and meditation spaces
• All meals, prepared daily by our chef

What is not included

Personal prescription medications are paid by the client and are not part of the program fee. Flights to and from Costa Rica and personal spending are also not included.

How long should you stay?

Treatment is booked in 30-day blocks: 30, 60, 90 or 120 days. Longer stays give more time to work on what sits underneath the addiction and to practise new routines before going home. Clients who complete our 120-day program are covered by our continued-care guarantee: relapse within six months and come back for 30 days at no additional program fee.

Why treatment costs less in Costa Rica

Lower prices do not come from lighter care. They come from operating outside the US healthcare and real estate system. CRTC keeps a 1:1 staff-to-client ratio, a multidisciplinary clinical team, and is licensed by IAFA and Costa Rica's Ministry of Health.

Insurance and payment

CRTC is a private-pay center and is not in-network with any insurer. Where a plan allows it, we help clients file out-of-network PPO reimbursement claims (how insurance works with CRTC). We accept Visa, Mastercard, wire transfers, cashier's checks, money orders, cash and online payment.

How to compare prices fairly

When you compare centers, check whether detox, psychiatric care and airport transfers are included, how many hours of therapy you get each week, what the staff-to-client ratio is, and what happens after discharge. A lower price that leaves these out is not cheaper. If you want a quote for your situation, book a free evaluation.
