What should I be comparing?
The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather have someone else do the comparing.
What if there is a diagnosis as well as the drinking?
Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. Psychiatric medication and treatment medication can usually be managed together by the same team. Ask whether the therapy is delivered by somebody licensed to treat the mental health side.
How soon could someone start?
It varies from same day to a month, and the only way to know is to ask on the day you are ready. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.
