Ask for the written VOB before admission, save the email, and the rest of the financial conversation becomes a lot simpler.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Adult men, Criminal justice (other than DUI/DWI)/Forensic clients, Clients who have experienced intimate partner violence, domestic violence. 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.
