It can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be fruitless. Our suggestion would be to back up your internet research with real, human phone calls. Ask for testimonials, or even to speak with alumni. Here are some questions you should be able to ask any facility’s admissions staff:
- What do people who have been through your program say about it?
- How do you determine the success of your program?
- What protections do you have in place to prevent unethical charges or billing practices?
- What kind of long-term or after care programs do you provide?
- Are you a for-profit or not-for-profit program?
This is a big decision. The disease of addiction is real, and you’re witnessing the symptoms and consequences. We want to talk through your situation and our solution, but most importantly, we want to help in any way we can. If Discovery Place is not the program for your loved one, that’s okay. We have made it our business to form relationships with upstanding, earnestly motivated, safe, and successful programs throughout the country. We will personally introduce you to the staff of the programs that best address your circumstances and timeline.
