What to Consider When Choosing a Program
- Level of care — Medical detox (5–7 days) for physical stabilization, inpatient/residential (28–90 days) for immersive treatment, or outpatient (IOP/PHP) for flexibility while living at home
- Insurance coverage — Under the Mental Health Parity Act, most plans must cover substance use treatment. Medicaid covers treatment in all 50 states under the ACA. Call to verify your benefits before choosing a facility
- Specialized programs — Some centers focus on dual-diagnosis (co-occurring mental health), veterans, adolescents, or specific substances like opioids or alcohol
- Evidence-based methods — Look for CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and FDA-approved MAT medications (buprenorphine, naltrexone, methadone)
- Accreditation — CARF or Joint Commission accreditation indicates quality and safety standards
