There is almost always a family role, and centers differ most in how early it starts. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask what exists for the family separately from the person being treated.

Somebody works through a short list, and the clinical detail comes later at an assessment. A family member can make the call and answer much of this, though some questions only the person using can answer. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.
