The cost of private rehab in New Zealand
Understanding what affects the cost of rehab, what a stay at Keystone includes and what to consider when choosing the right support.
What drives the cost of rehab
Cost is one consideration. Quality of care, level of support and aftercare are equally important.
The cost of rehab in New Zealand for alcohol and drug dependence varies depending on the type of treatment, the level of support and the length of stay. Private residential rehab sits at the more intensive end: it includes accommodation, chef-prepared meals, a structured daily programme and around-the-clock support, which is why it costs more than outpatient or community-based options.
The main factors
- Type of treatment. Private residential rehab includes accommodation, structured support and a more intensive level of care than outpatient programmes.
- Length of stay. Longer programmes generally require more support. Our core programme is 30 days; read more about how long rehab lasts.
- Level of support and personalisation. The amount of structure, one-to-one therapy, staff-to-guest ratio and ongoing care included all influence pricing.
- Environment and accommodation. A private, residential setting with your own room offers a more focused and supportive setting for recovery.
- Therapeutic inclusions. Individual AOD therapy, group therapy, recovery mentoring, clinical psychology where appropriate, movement and wellbeing practices.
- Aftercare planning. Ongoing support after treatment is an important part of long-term recovery, and should be part of what you’re paying for.
While cost is an important consideration, the quality of care, level of support and aftercare planning are equally important when choosing the right programme. If you’re unsure what type of support is needed, understanding the difference between detox and rehab can help.

Cost of rehab questions
Common questions about the cost of rehab and what to consider when comparing options.
Ask us a questionWhat should I look for when choosing a private rehab in NZ?
Consider whether the programme offers individualised treatment, appropriate addiction therapy, structured daily support, relapse-prevention planning and aftercare. It is also worth asking about the residential environment, staff, privacy, accommodation and how the programme will be tailored to your individual circumstances.
A good first step is speaking directly with the treatment provider and asking questions about how their programme actually works.
