Insurance and payment

On insurance specifically: Payment and insurance specifics for Shalom House Perth are not fully documented in the SAMHSA registry — a direct admissions conversation is the reliable way to confirm what forms of payment are accepted and at what network-contract level. 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

If that matches what you or your family member need, great — and worth asking specifically about what the programming looks like day-to-day (how many hours per week of specialty-specific content, who leads it, what credentials they hold).

Before you call

Three questions to put to Shalom House Perth before admission: the specific ASAM level the facility is billing; the written Verification of Benefits for your specific plan product; the MAT policy (continuation of buprenorphine or methadone during residential, specifically). If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether Shalom House Perth offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone.
