Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Atlanta differ on it.
Is there a sliding scale?
The honest range is wide. A few outpatient sessions and a month of residential care are not comparable numbers. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.
Who answers the phone?
It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Ask what they would recommend if money were not a factor, and then what they recommend given that it is.
