- Is my specific plan in network, and do you need prior authorization before admission?
- Do you provide medical detox on site, and how many days does it usually last?
- How long is the typical residential stay, and can family visit?
- How many hours a week is the outpatient or IOP schedule, and are evening groups available?
- Which medications do you prescribe (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), and can I continue a medication I already take?
