Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
Most programs will say plainly whether they sit on a court's approved list. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.
Can a mental health condition be treated at the same time?
Most people in treatment have something else going on as well, and the good programs expect it. A program that tells you to come back once the mental health side is handled has effectively declined to treat you. Bring any existing diagnosis and the name of whoever is treating it.
Is there a bed available now?
One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. Where the wait is long, a detox can sometimes happen first and the treatment bed after it. Keep the phone on. Beds are offered at short notice and go quickly.
