The first conversation is mostly questions about what is being used, how much, and for how long. The call can end with nothing booked, and often does. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.

How long will I be away?

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Who has access to my records?

A program needs your signature before it discusses you with anyone at all. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask how a claim through your insurance would appear, if that is the part that worries you.
