The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. A program willing to tell you who it is not suitable for is usually being straight with you about the rest. Ask what happens if somebody wants to leave partway through, because the answer says a lot about how a place is run.

Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. People who arrive under an order do about as well as people who arrive voluntarily, which surprises most people. Keep your own record of every session attended.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Keep a copy of everything you send and every date you were given.
