Questions to ask Beacon Center
- Is my specific plan in network, and do you need prior authorization before admission?
- 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?
- Do you treat mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety at the same time?
- Is there a waitlist, and how soon can you do an assessment?
- What happens after the program ends: aftercare, alumni groups or step-down care?
