Wide Variation by State: The average cost of inpatient hospital stays for mental health or substance abuse disorders vary widely from state to state. The average cost of a MH stay in the highest cost state ($13,300) was four times that in the lowest cost state ($2,900).
Largely contributing to rising mental health costs include long-term psychiatric care and nursing homes, adding up to more than 40 percent of mental health spending.

While the findings of this study may not surprise anyone living with a mental health condition, they highlight the need for improvement.
