Questions You May Have
Veritas Detox understands that getting help for substance abuse can be overwhelming. We took the time to answer most of the commonly asked questions we see. If you have a question that isn’t answered on this page, please, don’t hesitate to contact us day or night.
How long is detoxification?
The nature of your alcohol or drug abuse will determine the length of the detox. Typically it is anywhere between 3-8 days depending on the substances that have been abused, time using those substances, route of administration. All of these things can play a part in determining the length of a detox. However, we promise to make the client as comfortable as possible through the whole process.
How long is residential inpatient treatment?
Residential inpatient treatment can last anywhere between two weeks to three months. The length of your stay is determined by the level of care you need. Our goal is to get you as much time needed as possible. This is determined by the Clinical Team and progress of the client.
How often will I receive individual therapy?
Individual therapy will happen two to three times weekly as needed determined by the clinical team. Individual therapy is a big part of long-term recovery and can be requested more frequently depending on acuity.
Is my treatment confidential?
Treatment is confidential. The only ones allowed access to a client’s treatment documents are the individuals themselves or parties put on consent which is determined by the client.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, most large insurance carriers are accepted. An admissions specialist can help navigate the logistics of admissions.
What are your private pay costs?
Cost is determined on level of care admitted into as well as treatment length. Please contact an admissions specialist today for more information.

We can work with the court system and are willing to submit any paperwork that’s need for a client’s treatment. Submitting admittance, progress, and completion letters to the court is no problem for us.
