Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?

Court ordered treatment is routine, and programs that take it are used to the paperwork. An approved list is kept by the court or the supervising officer, and programs move on and off it. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.

Is outpatient enough?

The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. The middle levels, several hours a day with your own bed at night, are the ones most people have never heard of. Ask which level they would put a family member in, and why that one.

Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.
