Cost turns on three things: the level of care, how long it lasts, and what your coverage picks up. Many centers will spread a balance over months, and those terms are negotiable more often than people assume. Ask what someone on your plan usually ends up paying, which is a different question from the list price.

Existing prescriptions are normally continued, and they are reviewed by whoever is prescribing at the program. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. A mandated program reports attendance to whoever ordered it, and that is set by the order rather than by the center. Ask how long the record is kept and what would have to happen for anyone to see it later.
