Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Better Path Foundation accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (608) 721-4000 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other WI centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does The Better Path Foundation offer?

How do I start treatment at The Better Path Foundation?
Call the facility directly at (608) 721-4000 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
