Who it is for

People who are medically stable, have a safe place to live, and need real structure.

What a day looks like

  • A three-hour block: group, skills, sometimes individual therapy
  • Drug screens
  • Your normal life the rest of the day

What nobody tells you

What to ask

  • Are you in-network with my exact plan? Can I have that in writing?
  • What will I owe, in dollars, for the full stay you are recommending?
  • What happens to my bill if insurance stops approving days?
  • What state license do you hold, and are you accredited?
  • Who is on the medical staff, and are they on site overnight?
