Your worksheet should compare needs, goals, practices, provider roles, progress checks, consent, and transitions. Bring Living Longer Recovery admissions questions to each conversation. Place addiction treatments beside the same questions, so differences become clear. Leave room for unknowns. An honest blank is better than an assumption or unsupported promise.
Make one column for each option. Begin with verified setting facts. Add the needs each option addresses. List your own main goals. Record every named practice. Add the purpose of each practice. Note the provider's stated role. Include how often progress gets reviewed. Do not assume any schedule. Ask and record the actual answer. Add consent rules for family support. Include costs and payment questions. Record unknown items as unknown. Date every answer you receive. Facts may change between conversations.
Use the worksheet during each call. Ask the same core questions. This supports a fair comparison. Mark answers needing more detail. Separate public facts from verbal statements. Save any written materials provided. Note who supplied each answer. Do not treat silence as confirmation. Ask what happens before arrival. Ask what happens during transitions. Include urgent health contact instructions. Living Longer Recovery is not emergency care. For immediate danger, call 911. For crisis support, 988 offers call, text, or chat. A worksheet supports decisions but cannot assure outcomes.
