Payment Details

The Retreat does not participate with any health insurance; however, we have a working relationship with SJ Health Insurance Advocates, a third-party billing and utilization management company, that assists our residents and families with how to gain possible reimbursement using the resident’s out-of-network insurance benefits. We encourage you to contact SJ Health Insurance Advocates for their advice.

Self-pay care is treatment that residents and their families pay for. Private rehab, like The Retreat, isn’t covered by health insurance plans.

We understand that a stay at The Retreat is a significant investment. However, we believe private mental health rehab comes with many advantages.

Often, insurance companies do not consider your individual circumstances when making decisions about the length or breadth of treatment you can receive. A self-pay program prevents limitations of service. All care decisions are made in consultation with the resident and their loved ones, not with an insurance company.
