What will I actually pay?

Figures vary so widely between programs that an average would mislead you more than it helps. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. Ask whether medication is inside the quote, because it is a frequent extra.

Can someone go back into treatment?

A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. What was learned the first time usually shapes a better plan the second. Ask whether medication is on the table this time if it was not before.

How soon could someone start?

A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. A medical need moves someone up a list, and withdrawal risk is the usual reason. Ask whether the wait changes if you are willing to start at a different level of care.
