They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in New York is set up for.

Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.

Addiction treatment is a covered benefit on most plans sold today. Network status changes without notice, so a center on last year's list is not necessarily on this year's. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.

Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Ask what to do about prescriptions and mail arriving at home while you are away.
