Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Write down four questions and ask every place the same four.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. Who sees a record inside a program is also limited, usually to the team treating you. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.

It depends on the level of care. Outpatient care is designed to fit around a job. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
