How Much Does Rehab Marketing Really Cost? A Transparent Breakdown
If you’ve ever tried to figure out how much rehab marketing should cost, you know the feeling:
You visit agency websites. None of them list prices. You have to “request a quote.” You fill out a form. A salesperson calls. They ask about your budget. They dance around the price. Finally, they give you a number—but you have no idea if it’s fair.
It’s frustrating. And it’s intentional.
Most agencies hide their pricing because they want to size up your budget before telling you what they charge. They want to charge you as much as possible, not as little as fair.
We do things differently. Here’s exactly what rehab marketing costs—and what you actually get for your money.
What Most Agencies Charge
Here’s what the typical social media marketing agency charges in 2026:
Entry-Level ($500–$1,500/month):
8–20 posts per month
1–2 platforms
No video
No Google Posts
Setup fees often apply
Mid-Market ($1,500–$5,000/month):
12–20 posts per month
2–4 platforms
Video is usually extra
Google Posts are usually extra
Setup fees often apply
6–12 month contracts
Premium ($5,000–$15,000+/month):
20–40 posts per month
4–6 platforms
Video is still often extra
Google Posts are still often extra
Setup fees are common
6–12 month contracts
Hidden fees everywhere
Enterprise ($15,000–$25,000+/month):
40–80 posts per month
Full presence
But you’re paying $15,000+ for what should cost much less
Most agencies charging $5,000–$10,000 per month deliver just 40–80 pieces of content. That’s $125–$208 per post.
Think about that. You’re paying over $100 for a single social media post.
The Hidden Costs Nobody Tells You About
Here’s where it gets even worse. Most agencies don’t tell you the full cost upfront. They hit you with hidden fees after you sign:
What they don’t tell you:
❌ Setup Fees: $500–$2,000
❌ Video Production: $500–$2,500/month
❌ Google Posts: $500–$1,000/month
❌ Additional Platforms: $500–$1,500 each
❌ Strategy Calls: $200–$500/hour
❌ Reporting: $500–$1,000/month
What you actually pay:
That $5,000/month quote becomes $8,000–$12,000/month.
And you’re still only getting 40–80 posts.

The Cost Per Post Comparison
Here’s how the numbers actually stack up:
What most agencies deliver:
❌ 40–80 posts per month
❌ 2–4 platforms
❌ Extra charges for video
❌ $500–$2,000 setup fees
❌ 6–12 month contracts
❌ $125–$208 per post
❌ $5,000–$10,000+/month
What Rehabinate delivers (starting at $3,000/month for one location):
✅ 252 posts per month
✅ 6 platforms
✅ Video included
✅ No setup fees
✅ No contracts. Cancel anytime.
✅ Just $12 per post
✅ $3,000/month for one location
Our cost per post is 10 to 17 times lower than traditional agencies.
That’s not slightly better. That’s dramatically better.
What About Hiring In-House?
Many rehab directors consider hiring an in-house marketing person. Let’s look at that option:
The average in-house marketing hire costs:
$4,500–$6,500/month in salary
Plus benefits (health insurance, 401k, etc.)
Plus payroll taxes
Plus equipment and software
Plus management and training
Total cost: $5,500–$8,000+/month
For that, you get one person. One person who:
Has a limited skill set (not an expert in everything)
Has limited capacity (can’t produce 252 posts per month)
Has limited platform knowledge (specializes in one or two)
Takes vacations and sick days
Can leave at any time
Now compare that to Rehabinate:
For $3,000/month, you get:
A full team of experts
252 posts per month across 6 platforms
Video, images, and captions all included
No hiring, no training, no management
No benefits, no equipment, no software costs
Month-to-month. No contract.
The math is simple. In-house marketing costs more and delivers less.
The Bottom Line
Rehab marketing shouldn’t be a guessing game. You should know exactly what you’re paying for and exactly what you’re getting.
At Rehabinate, we make it simple:
$3,000/month for one location
252 posts per month across 6 platforms
Just $12 per post
No setup fees
No contracts
No hidden costs
Cancel anytime
That’s full transparency. That’s fair pricing. That’s the Rehabinate way.
