Questions about this facility

Common questions about The Shoulder Mobile

Answered from public sources: SAMHSA listings, federal parity regulations, and our own admissions helpline intake notes.

Is The Shoulder Mobile listed in the SAMHSA Treatment Services Locator?

The Shoulder Mobile appears in our directory because it is sourced from the federal SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator. The SAMHSA listing is the federal reference for licensed substance-use programs in the United States — inclusion requires active state licensure. If you want to verify independently, you can search by name or ZIP at findtreatment.gov.

What insurance does The Shoulder Mobile accept?

Insurance network lists change frequently, so the definitive answer is always to call the facility directly or call our helpline — we verify benefits on the line, for free. In general, most SAMHSA-listed programs in AL accept at least one commercial insurer plus Medicaid. Out-of-network coverage depends on your specific plan's behavioral-health benefits.

How do I know if this level of care is right for me?

The clinical answer comes from an ASAM assessment — a six-dimension evaluation of withdrawal risk, medical conditions, mental state, readiness to change, relapse potential, and living environment. A good intake conversation at The Shoulder Mobile (or any SAMHSA-listed program) will walk through those dimensions before recommending a level of care. If you would like help thinking through the fit first, take our 2-minute self-assessment.

Is calling confidential? Will my employer find out?

Substance-use treatment records are protected under 42 CFR Part 2 — a federal rule stricter than HIPAA. An employer cannot access your records without a court order or your written consent. Insurance claims will reflect that behavioral-health services were provided, but not the diagnosis or the content. Calls to our helpline and to The Shoulder Mobile directly are confidential.

What happens if I call the helpline instead of the facility?

Our helpline ((888) 333-RECOV) is answered 24/7 by licensed admissions counselors. They will ask about insurance, location preference, and clinical priorities, then match you against in-network verified programs. You can request The Shoulder Mobile specifically. There is no obligation to admit — the call is informational.
