A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask what a program would say if somebody rang it asking about you.

Your id, your card, your prescriptions, and the name of anyone the center is allowed to speak to. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
