How do I choose between two centers?
Compare what each program provides rather than how each one describes itself. Referral services and treatment providers both answer the phone, and knowing which you reached changes the call. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.
Can a program handle a court referral?
The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. Attendance records are the usual thing reported, and the content of the sessions usually is not. Keep your own record of every session attended.
What about the medication my doctor prescribed?
The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Pregnancy changes medication decisions substantially and needs specialist input. Take the labeled containers rather than a week of loose pills in an organizer.
