Use one worksheet and identical questions for every center. Read the residential drug and alcohol detox program description without adding assumptions. Send the same Living Longer Recovery admissions questions to each option. Compare verified facts, current answers, unanswered items, and the plan for care after discharge.
Create one row per center. Give facts their own columns. Use legal name, address, record number, service, population, and capacity. Add columns for current availability and fit. Mark those fields as unverified until confirmed. Add medication, payment, and next-step columns. Keep records apart from phone answers. This prevents a current claim from becoming a state fact. Use plain labels such as yes, no, unclear, and pending. Add dates to all entries. Review differences with a trusted person or health professional if that feels useful.
Do not use a single score. Some facts are not equal. A verified identity check differs from a comfort preference. An urgent health need carries more weight than a minor convenience. First remove options with unresolved identity concerns. Next flag questions tied to health and personal fit. Then compare cost and practical needs. Last, review transition planning. This order keeps the process grounded. It cannot promise a suitable placement. It does help you see missing facts. A blank space should prompt a question, not a guess.
- Ask every center identical questions.
