We don't publish prices, because no directory can quote you an accurate one — the real cost depends on your coverage, the level of care, and how long you stay. What we can tell you is that SPIRITT Family Services reports free or low-cost options and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.

Its listed treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, matrix model, relapse prevention, substance use disorder counseling and telemedicine/telehealth therapy.
