They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Oakland has the nearest beds, under a mile away.
Does support carry on after discharge?
Aftercare is whatever holds the weeks after a program ends, and it is the part people most often skip. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Get the follow up appointment into the diary before the program ends.
How do I tell two programs apart?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. The programs that handle a co-occurring diagnosis and the ones that do not are a genuine fork in the road. Ask what kind of person this program would turn down, because a real answer exists.
What if this is not the first time?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. Programs will usually ask what happened last time, and the answer shapes what they offer. Tell the program what the last attempt included, so this one can be different.
