Cost turns on three things: the level of care, how long it lasts, and what your coverage picks up. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to put to two programs. Family sessions are normally held in evenings or at weekends, because the people expected at them are working. Look up the free family groups in Salt Lake City as well, because they outlast any program.

Someone will want to know how recently you used, because that decides whether detox comes first. A call outside office hours often reaches an answering service rather than an intake worker, which is worth knowing before judging a program by it. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
