How long would I be in a program?
There is no standard course. Programs are built in fixed lengths and people move between them. The early part of any program is mostly stabilizing, and the work people picture when they think of treatment starts after that. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
Can I bring my phone?
Think documents and medication first, comforts second. Phones are allowed at some centers, restricted at others, and the rule is often different in the first week. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
