Frequently Asked Questions
Starting treatment comes with questions. Here are a few we hear most often, but if you need more answers, we are just a call away.
Do I need a referral to start treatment at ER Detox?
You can contact ER Detox directly to get started—no prescription or referral is necessary. Just call us or submit an inquiry, and we’ll guide you through the next steps. That being said, if you have a primary care provider or another healthcare professional, working with them can be helpful for ongoing health and recovery support—but it’s not required for admission.
