Is telehealth available at Mental Health Clinic?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into New Bedford.

What does insurance actually cover?

Often, though residential care is reviewed far more closely than outpatient care. An in network center costs less, and network lists go out of date, so it is worth verifying rather than trusting the list. It is fair to ask a center to check your plan before you decide anything at all.

Does my employer find out?

Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. Where an employer is funding treatment, it is normally told that you attended and not what was discussed. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.

Can I go back after a relapse?

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Shame is the main reason people wait, and waiting is the thing that makes it worse. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.
