How many weeks is a program?

Days for a detox, weeks for a residential stay, months for outpatient care. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.

Which level of care do I need?

The choice is normally made on medical risk and on what home looks like, in that order. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.
