  1. Picking a Quality Drug Rehabilitation Center

  2. Choosing a good drug rehabilitation center is one of the most important decisions that someone can make in their life. The right rehabilitation center can mean the difference between lasting recovery and giving up, so it's extremely important that patients fully understand what to look for when they are shopping around for a treatment plan. When deciding on a quality drug rehabilitation center, there are several things to consider:

  3. A quality rehab center should be accredited in the state in which it is operating. Be suspicious of centers which are not, or which cannot readily provide up-to-date license and accreditation information. If they don't meet their home state's standards for accreditation, they should not be considered. Always check a center's licensing and accreditation first.

  4. An accredited center should be run by well-trained doctors, mental health professionals, and addiction specialists. Don't settle for anything less than someone who is properly trained in how to deal with the physical and mental effects of detoxification and addiction treatment; it can be both ineffective and dangerous. Always check to see who's running the drug rehabilitation center.

  5. No two cases are the same, and not all rehabilitation programs are created equal. The best rehabilitation centers will offer a variety of programs based on their patients' needs-- ranging from intervention programs designed to help prevent addiction, to inpatient programs intended for intensive treatment, to sober living programs to help patients that have completed other treatment plans. Check what types of treatment plans are available.

  6. Will patients be given other drug therapies to combat withdrawal symptoms? Many rehabilitation programs rely heavily on substituting one drug for another-- patients recovering from heroin may find themselves dependent on methadone instead, for example. Some even rely on medications for depression or anxiety that have a very high potential for addiction, like Xanax. The best drug rehabilitation centers offer their patients effective therapies that don't substitute one addiction for another. See what their treatment plans entail.

  7. Good rehabilitation centers should have statistics available on their overall success rates. These statistics should be compiled by a third party, not the rehabilitation center itself-- a third party is more likely to be impartial, and will offer statistics provide a more accurate depiction of how successful the treatment center actually is. Check the success of their treatment plans.

  8. Speak to your health professional about the right treatment options for you. They will be able to point you in the right direction when it comes to effective, properly accredited and licensed facilities in your state, and may be able to give you a referral for insurance purposes.Check with independent organizations like the Better Business Bureau. Talk to your doctor

  9. The effectiveness of a drug rehabilitation center isn't the only criteria to look at; it's also important to see what kind of complaints previous patients and their families may have had. The Better Business Bureau can provide some insight into these complaints, and help prospective patients decide if a treatment center is really going to meet their needs.

  10. Lastly, see if the treatment center's promises are realistic. The fact of the matter is that recovering from drug addiction is a lifelong battle. Relapses happen, and there is no such thing as a miracle cure. Drug addiction causes deep and lasting effects on the body and mind, and it can take months of diligence to allow patients to resume living a normal, healthy, drug-free life. It's best to be suspicious of any rehabilitation program that sounds too good to be true-- it probably is.

  11. Drug rehabilitation centers shouldn't be chosen lightly, or based purely on price. An inexpensive, ineffective treatment plan can end up costing more in the long run as patients relapse and are forced to re-enter treatment. By keeping these criteria in mind, patients and their families can ensure that they are getting the best and most effective addiction treatment available to them.
