What does the court need from the program?
Court ordered and voluntary treatment are the same programs, with different paperwork around them. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Ask who signs the completion document and how long it takes to issue.
Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?
Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. Coverage for detox is normally a separate question from coverage for the treatment that follows it. Ask the center to put the benefits check in writing before an admission date is set.
