How do I tell two programs apart?
Two programs that read identically online often differ sharply once you ask about staffing. Any place promising a specific outcome is telling you something about itself rather than about treatment. Ask both places for the daily schedule and compare those rather than the brochures.
How long does the first call take?
It starts with a short assessment: the substance, the pattern, your health, and where you live. Medical history matters here: seizures, pregnancy, heart problems and current prescriptions all change the plan. Describe what you are actually dealing with, not the version that sounds manageable.
