What does stepping down look like?
A program ending is a step down rather than a finish, at least where it is designed well. A recurrence in the first month is common, and a plan that anticipates it is worth more than one that does not. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.
Is medication assisted treatment effective?
For many people the medication is what makes the rest of the treatment possible, rather than a replacement for it. Not every center is licensed for every medication, so what is on offer varies more than the clinical picture does. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.
