It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. The cheapest program and the one with the shortest wait are rarely the same program, and that is the real tradeoff. Cost is a reasonable thing to lead with, and nobody answering a treatment line will be surprised by it.
Is there family counseling?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Ask what the visiting rules are in the first week and after it.
Is methadone treatment on its own?
Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Alcohol use disorder has prescribed options of its own, which is worth raising because the phrase is usually explained in terms of opioids. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.
