Ask them directly what you would pay.

Its medical detox covers alcohol detoxification, benzodiazepines detoxification, cocaine detoxification, methamphetamines detoxification and opioids detoxification. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.
Its listed treatment approaches include anger management, brief intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention and substance use disorder counseling. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.
