What does the Medicine Wheel program cost?

Medicine Wheel requires a 30-day minimum length of stay (see Program Philosophy). Please contact one of our Admission Directors for our daily rates at (800) 898-1244 . Included in the daily rate are the physical examination, treatment plan development, psycho-social assessment, intensive acclimation supervision, and individual and group therapy sessions.

Medicine Wheel will assist parents with health insurance billing if eligible. We have been successful in collecting some insurance money (assuming the clinical information rises to the level of medical necessity). Please contact an admissions counselor for more details around specific insurance issues.
