There is no price on this site, because what a program costs depends on the level of care and on your plan. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.

The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Anything needing a blood test or a monthly injection has to be scheduled around the program, which is easier arranged before admission. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

There is normally a family component, and it is one of the better questions to ask when comparing two places. Living with somebody in early recovery changes a household's routine, and family sessions are where that gets planned. Ask what the household should have in place before the first weekend at home.
