Before you call

Pre-admission documentation for American Habitare and Counseling should include ASAM-framework level-of-care justification, plan-specific Verification of Benefits with network-contract confirmation, written MAT policy for opioid use disorder patients where applicable, and licensure/accreditation verification.
