Can I choose my own program for a court order?
The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. What gets reported is attendance and completion, not what you said in a session, unless the order says otherwise. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.
Can I start this week?
A wait quoted on the phone is an estimate of a queue that moves, rather than a date you can plan around. Private programs typically have shorter waits and higher prices, and both facts are part of the same picture. If the wait is long, ask what the next level down could start on.
