What are the warning signs of a bad program?
The things worth comparing are the ones a program can answer with a fact rather than an adjective. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.
What happens to the medication I already take?
Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Medication bought over the counter counts on the list, and leaving it off causes problems later. Ask how soon after arrival you would see a prescriber.
Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?
It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.
