Will a program make me come off my medication?
Most medication carries on. Anything that interacts with treatment gets looked at by a prescriber first. Some abstinence based programs are uncomfortable with prescribed medication, and that is a genuine difference between centers. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.
How long would I be in a program?
Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. A program length is a starting point that gets reviewed, often weekly, by the clinical team and by whoever is paying. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.
What should I bring to treatment?
The documents matter: identification, insurance details, and anything a prescriber has written for you. Arrival normally involves a bag search, and the list of what is not allowed is longer than people expect. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
