What happens to the medication I already take?
Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Where a program has no prescriber, your own doctor stays in charge of what you take. Write the full list with doses and prescribers before you call anyone.
What are the usual program lengths?
The usual shapes are a few days of detox, a month or so of residential care, then outpatient care for longer. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask what the longest and the shortest version of this program looks like.
Do I need medication to stop?
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. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.
