Cost turns on three things: the level of care, how long it lasts, and what your coverage picks up. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask whether medication is inside the quote, because it is a frequent extra.

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. An authorization carries an end date and stops when that date passes, rather than running on indefinitely. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
