What does stepping down look like?
It normally means continuing outpatient sessions, a prescriber if medication is involved, and free meetings. An alumni group, a weekly session and a prescriber are the three pieces most plans are built from. The free meetings listed in Pasadena are worth finding before you need them.
How much does treatment cost?
The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. Every state operates a publicly funded system with its own intake line, separate from anything a private center offers. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.
Who has access to my records?
Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. Employers and courts normally receive attendance rather than clinical content. Ask whether messages can be left for you and who is allowed to leave them.
