Addiction and substance-related needs
Ask which substances and overlapping concerns a programme addresses, how withdrawal risk is assessed and when a different medical setting is required. This guide is not an assessment or a detoxification plan.
Mental health and diagnostic assessment
Clarify whether the purpose is diagnostic assessment, residential treatment or continuing care. Ask about the treating team’s relevant qualifications, clinical responsibility and the basis for the proposed methods.
Trauma and co-occurring concerns
Ask how one coordinated plan will address overlapping needs. A broad list of conditions on a website does not confirm that the provider can safely treat a specific presentation. Discuss suitability directly with qualified clinicians.
