When a family is considering treatment for a loved one, financial worry often becomes one more layer of stress in an already overwhelming situation. At Tallgrass, we believe pricing should be transparent, straightforward, and free from pressure. Our goal is to make this process as simple and supportive as every other part of our admissions experience.
Tallgrass is a nonprofit organization committed to offering an affordable alternative to conventional treatment centers while still delivering a deeply transformative, spiritually grounded recovery experience. We keep costs accessible because we believe every person deserves a chance at healing, connection, and a new way of life.
This page will help you understand our pricing, payment options, and the resources available to ensure cost never becomes a barrier to recovery.
Tallgrass exists because people in recovery wanted to help others find the same freedom. That spirit is still at the heart of everything we do. As a nonprofit, our focus is not profit. It is service. It is community. It is giving every guest the greatest opportunity to succeed.
We keep our program costs significantly lower than typical inpatient treatment centers by:
This allows us to offer a full 30 night, immersive, spiritually centered recovery program at a fraction of what most medical treatment centers charge.

We understand that every family’s financial situation is different. Tallgrass offers several options to help make the program accessible.
1. Financing Available
We offer financing options that allow you to break the program cost into manageable monthly payments. Many families find this incredibly helpful during an emotionally stressful time.
2. Guest Assistance Fund
Thanks to the generosity of donors and community partners, Tallgrass maintains a fund to help individuals who need partial financial support. This resource is limited and is reserved for guests with demonstrated financial hardship.
3. Personal Payment Plans
We work with families to create payment arrangements that align with their financial abilities.
4. Employer or Professional Referrals
In some cases, employers, unions, or professional organizations help cover the cost of a guest’s stay, especially when recovery supports their ability to work safely and effectively.
Because Tallgrass is a spiritually based, community supported, nonprofit program, we do not operate as a clinical treatment facility. Our model is rooted in:
Insurance companies require clinical structures that do not align with the heart of our program. By remaining independent of insurance systems, we preserve:

For two decades, Tallgrass has turned what begins as a desperate search for a way out into something extraordinary: a new freedom, a new happiness, and a life worth living.

Clinical research from Harvard Medical School shows that Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) significantly improves long-term recovery outcomes. Compared to other leading therapies, individuals in TSF programs experienced 60–71% higher rates of sustained remission in the first year. Even more compelling, at a 3-year follow-up, abstinence rates were 50% higher among those engaged in Twelve Step–based care.
These results are driven by one key factor: active participation in recovery communities like AA, which has been shown to create lasting behavioral change, stronger support systems, and improved accountability.
At Tallgrass Recovery, our Twelve Step Program approach is designed to connect you with these proven pathways to long-term sobriety—so recovery is not just possible, but sustainable.
