Questions to ask Fresh Start
- What does treatment cost without insurance, and do you offer a payment plan or sliding fee?
- How long is the typical residential stay, and can family visit?
- Which medications do you prescribe (buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone), and can I continue a medication I already take?
