>“Well,” he told me, “it’s 2,000 euros.” That’s about $2,500—a fraction of the cost of inpatient rehab in the United States, which routinely runs in the tens of thousands of dollars for a 28-day stay.

I'd have to guess that even the Finnish model would be vastly more expensive the US – it seems to be the rule when it comes to health care costs.

After all we also have AA-style treatments, and while I can't comment on their features, a quick Google-Fu reveals that the cost for month's inpatient rehab is 6500 €. (It's a fully private enterprise, and not a part of the public health care.)

In India its about 1500$ a month. If you want 5 star treatment with your own butler etc about 4K.
