On care levels specifically: The facility offers a continuum of care across multiple levels — Inpatient, PHP, Dual Dx — which means it can, in principle, hold a patient across the arc of a typical treatment episode.

Insurance and payment

That document is the answer to most post-admission billing disputes.

Specialty programming

The specialty question rewards specific follow-up: what clinicians provide the specialty content, what their credentials are, what percentage of weekly programming is specialty-specific vs. general programming.
