Reading the field
Every country above is graded against this published scale — the same 1–5 rubric for rehab cost savings, top to bottom. How we score →
Exceptional cost savings of 70%+ compared to US/UK facilities with comprehensive program offerings. Multiple accredited facilities offer residential programs under $10,000 for 30 days. Luxury options available at 50%+ savings. Transparent, all-inclusive pricing with international insurance acceptance. Strong currency advantages and government medical tourism support. Multiple financing options and clear cost structures.
Significant cost savings of 50-70% compared to US/UK baseline. Quality residential programs available for $10,000-20,000 for 30 days. Good range of program options with clear pricing. International patient services well-established. Some luxury options with meaningful savings. Acceptable payment flexibility and minimal hidden costs.
Moderate cost savings of 30-50% compared to US/UK facilities. Residential programs typically $20,000-35,000 for 30 days. Limited program variety but adequate options. Some pricing transparency issues or additional fees. Basic international patient accommodation. Limited luxury options or minimal savings on premium programs.
Minimal cost savings of 10-30% compared to US/UK baseline. Programs cost $35,000-50,000 for 30 days. Limited facility options with inconsistent pricing. Poor pricing transparency or significant hidden costs. Minimal international patient services. Limited payment options or insurance acceptance.
No meaningful cost advantage or higher costs than US/UK facilities. Programs exceed $50,000 for 30 days or very limited availability. Poor quality-to-cost ratio. Significant barriers to international patients. Hidden costs, poor payment options, or pricing instability. Medical tourism infrastructure for addiction treatment essentially non-existent.
