Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.
Can family be involved in treatment?
Most places run something for families, and the quality of it is one of the clearer differences between two centers. Visiting is usually restricted in the first week and opens up later. If you are calling about someone else, say so at the start and the conversation will fit.
