There is usually a plan for afterwards, covering appointments, medication and somewhere to go each week. Having something scheduled for the first week back is better than having good intentions for it. Ask to see what a discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

The spread is enormous, from state funded care at no cost to private residential rates that need financing. Nonprofit and faith based programs sometimes cost a fraction of commercial rates, with longer waits attached. Ask for the itemized version rather than a single total, because the surprises sit in the line items.

A treatment program cannot confirm to a caller that you are there without your written permission. Insurance claims do create a record with the insurer, which is the usual route by which treatment becomes visible. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.
