Questions to ask Catholic Charities
- 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?
- If I need medication for opioid or alcohol use disorder, do you prescribe it or refer out?
- 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?
Also confirm the facility is licensed by Pennsylvania (this facility reports accreditation). If you are withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines, ask about medical detox; do not stop suddenly on your own.
