What if I cannot pay for treatment?
It ranges from nothing at all, in a state funded program, to figures that need a payment plan. Every state operates a publicly funded system with its own intake line, separate from anything a private center offers. Ask for the all in figure, then ask which parts of it are estimates.
Does a relapse mean it failed?
It is common, programs are built expecting it, and it is not a reason to wait. A different level of care is often the right response rather than a repeat of the same program. Say what happened last time, because it is the most useful thing you can tell an intake worker.
