Fees

Fees range from $985/day (for the six-week nursing-intensive evaluation and treatment period) to $170/day for the Aftercare program. While the length of stay can vary, individuals are strongly encouraged to stay for the 6-week intensive evaluation.

Based on need, Riggs offers fee reductions ranging from 5 to 25 percent. A completed fee reduction application will lead to a comprehensive review of the current treatment plan and financial need.
