Inpatient rehab at IsraRehab starts at $8,000 per month. The first consultation for the family is free, and a detailed consultation with a specialist starts at $500.

IsraRehab and consultation prices

First consultation for the family — free (online or in person, in Russian, Hebrew or English).
Detailed consultation with a specialist on your situation — from $500.
Inpatient rehab programme at IsraRehab — from $8,000 per month.
Crisis intervention — price set after discussing the situation.
Aftercare following rehab (up to 12 months) — price set after discussion.

The exact plan and cost for a specific person are given after the consultation: they depend on the length of the programme and on what medical care is needed.

Length of the programme

The price is per month. How many months are needed is discussed separately, after the consultation: it depends on the substance, how long the person has been using, their health, the family situation and how treatment is going.

Cutting the length is the most expensive mistake. In my experience, a person who is "cleaned out" in a week and discharged often relapses within months, and the family pays again. Detox is not treatment; it is preparation for treatment.

What affects the cost of rehab

Length of the programme.
Medical care: medically supervised detox, a psychiatrist — especially with a dual diagnosis.
Format: inpatient, day centre or outpatient.
Family work — whether it is part of the programme.
Aftercare — whether it exists and how long it lasts.
Language of the programme and arrangements for people coming from abroad: pick-up, transfer, documents.

How to choose a rehab centre in Israel →

Are there public or free options?

Yes. Every local social services department (לשכת הרווחה) has an addiction treatment unit: it carries out an initial assessment, provides outpatient treatment and refers people to inpatient detox (אשפוזית), day centres and therapeutic communities. Both people with addictions and their families can get help; there is a small co-payment.

For people with opioid addiction who could not stop after several attempts, there are long-term medication-assisted treatment centres — also with a co-payment.

A private centre costs more but gives you a choice of place and start date, a programme in your own language and aftercare. What fits depends on the situation; in a free consultation I will go through the options, public ones included.
