Care levels at Our Hope Association Lyon Street

On care levels specifically: The facility's documented care levels are The facility offers specific levels of care: Inpatient, MAT. — each of which is appropriate for specific clinical presentations. Matching the level to the specific clinical need is the pre-admission work. What that means in practice is that matching Our Hope Association Lyon Street to the right clinical situation depends on whether you or a loved one needs the level of care this facility actually offers — which is a clinician's judgment, not a facility's sales pitch.

Insurance and payment

On insurance specifically: Our Hope Association Lyon Street accepts Medicaid — which is consequential because facilities that accept Medicaid tend to have the broadest patient populations and the most developed public-sector relationships, though reimbursement structures mean program intensity sometimes differs from commercial-focused centers. Before admission, ask the facility's utilization-review team for a written Verification of Benefits — not verbal assurance, which is where most post-treatment financial surprises come from. Also ask for specific plan-level confirmation, not carrier-level (e.g., "your Aetna PPO plan" not just "Aetna").

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Clients with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, Clients who have experienced trauma, Persons with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 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.

Before you call

The three questions that consistently separate programs worth considering from programs worth skipping: ASAM level of care match; written VOB for your plan; MAT policy. The facility's documented pharmacotherapy offerings suggest MAT is available — confirm the specific medications and prescriber access during the admissions conversation. Programs that cannot answer all three quickly are programs worth approaching with caution.
