How does rehab work and how is its cost calculated?

Rehab in Switzerland reduces drug addiction, at $250,000 per session per the wiki's December 2023 capture^[1]. The bill depends on addiction points, a per-point cost that rises with repeated rehab, and rounding to whole sessions. That detail comes from a 2019 player test, and no official formula is documented^[2][3].

Rehab is done in Switzerland and lowers drug addiction. The wiki's December 2023 capture lists $250,000 per session^[1]. The total bill depends on how many addiction points you carry and on a per-point cost that rises with repeated rehab, with the total rounded to whole sessions. That detail comes from a 2019 player test^[2][3]; no official formula is documented in the sources.

How it works

• Rehab is bought by flying to Switzerland and using the drug clinic there^[4][5]. Travel is a separate cost from the session fee; the sources give no travel figure.
• Each visit reduces drug addiction and costs $250,000 (wiki capture, December 2023). Heavy users may need many visits^[1].
• It cannot be used with no drug addiction. A session refills the happy bar but does not clear the aftereffects of a drug or overdose^[1].

How the cost builds

• Effectiveness decays with more and more uses, so more $250,000 sessions are needed to clear the same amount of addiction^[1].
• A 2016 guide says effectiveness is tied to the number of times you have rehabbed, not directly to drugs taken. It adds that a player can take many drugs and still keep the bill relatively low^[4].
• Xanax adds 35 Addiction Points per use^[6]. A 2019 player test used 35 rehab points per Xanax, or 29.75 with a 15% Toleration special, and 20 points removed by natural decay. It described scales of cost in which the cost per addiction point increases with repeated use^[2].
• Worked example from that guide: one player paid $37,500 per addiction point, a rate that includes their faction specials. One natural decay then saves 20*37,500 = $750,000. The system rounded that player's bill up to the next multiple of the session cost, so they rehabbed once less. The rounding rests on this single example^[3].

The 2019 test is old. It puts natural decay at about 4am TCT^[2], while the wiki's October 2025 capture says 20 points are removed each day at 3:30am TCT^[5]. The test also said jumps between scales were not yet understood^[2].

Reducing the bill

• The faction Excursion special has a Rehab cost tree that cuts rehab cost by up to 20%, at 2% per upgrade (wiki capture, 2026)^[7].
• A 2021 wiki capture of the older challenge system tied these upgrades to rehab counts, from 1000 up to 100000 rehabs. TornLife has not confirmed that these still apply^[8].
• Job specials remove 1 addiction point per job point^[5].
• A White Easter Egg halves current addiction but does not appear to halve the rehab expense^[5].

Cost creep is real but the reports are single anecdotes. One player reported about $4M per trip in 2020^[9]. Another, in 2018, reported 5-7.5m per day, had 0% rehab discount, and thought the bill was unusually high^[10].

Where sources disagree

• Natural decay is at about 4am TCT in the 2019 player test^[2], but 3:30am TCT on the wiki's 2025 capture^[5].
