Can depression be treated at the same time?
A mental health condition alongside substance use is the common case rather than the complicated one. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. Ask what happens if the psychiatric side turns out to need more than the program planned for.
How private is this?
Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. Read what you sign at intake, because the release is in that stack.
