Can I bring my own medication?
Some programs have a prescriber on site and some rely on yours, which is worth knowing in advance. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.
How long will I be away?
It depends which level of care you are asking about, because they run on different clocks. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.
What if this is not the first time?
Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary things an intake line hears. The useful question after a recurrence is what was missing, and the answer is often medication or aftercare. Ask what is arranged for the weeks after discharge specifically.
