Is treatment available in a language other than English?
They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Portsmouth does.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
A program will want the full list on day one, including anything over the counter. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Keep whoever prescribes for you informed rather than assuming a handover happens by itself.
Can my family come?
There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. A family member asking the questions is normal, and intake lines are used to it. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.
Can I work during treatment?
Usually there is a route through this that keeps the job, and which route depends on the level of care. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Ask whether the program can start on a date that fits a leave request.
