They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Medford are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

A program that ends with nothing scheduled has handed you the hardest month with no structure in it. Free fellowship meetings run in most towns, cost nothing and need no referral, which is why they outlast paid programs. Ask whether the center keeps treating you afterwards or hands you on.

Plenty of programs accept referrals from a court, a probation officer or a child welfare agency. Whether a program satisfies a particular order is a question for the court or the officer rather than for the center alone. Confirm the program is approved before the first session rather than after it.

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what the assessment after this call involves and whether it happens in person.
