Edgewater Health - New Life Treatment Center

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Gary, 2 offer a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in East Chicago, 7.2 miles away.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Gary is something they handle.

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 3.0 miles away in Gary.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Gary.

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. A quote is usually a daily rate times an expected length, so the cheaper number sometimes just buys fewer days. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. Schools and colleges have their own leave of absence process, and a medical withdrawal is often reversible. Ask about evening and weekend schedules before ruling treatment out on time grounds.
