Researching Drug Rehab Centers

Addiction to drugs comes with a lot of stress and looking for a top drug treatment facility to put you back on track can become overbearing. You find a lot of different facilities offering various types of services, programs, and amenities, and while some may appear more attractive than others, there are a lot of important issues to consider. This can get confusing but, knowing what to look for in a substance abuse program makes it easier to choose one that will most likely help you to achieve sobriety and be able to maintain it.

The first important thing to look for is whether or not the rehab center is appropriately licensed and accredited by the state you live in and that is well staffed and maintained with qualified professionals to ensure quality of care throughout your recovery process. You can get license and accreditation information through The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Substance Abuse Treatment Facility Locator of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The most effective treatment programs are those that are comprehensive in nature and will address physical and mental health issues as well as provide addiction treatment services for detox, counseling, and aftercare. Find out if the drug rehab center has a good success rate for treating your type of addiction as well as any other issues that may contribute to your whether or not you can get sober and stay there.

True rehabilitation cannot begin until the patient is physically stabilized and a safe, monitored, and medically assisted detoxification is a crucial first step. A top drug and alcoholism treatment establishment offers a clean and safe environment with professionals and qualified clinicians who can identify and treat co-occurring physical or mental health issues as well as the drug addiction.

A major feature of top rehabilitation programs is behavioral therapy. There are a wide range of these therapies to choose from and most involve Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) because it helps the addict address their dysfunctional behavior and change their thought processes to obtain the goal of sobriety.

Individual and group counseling sessions help the addict identify “triggers” to their addiction and learn new ways of coping with the factors that stress their emotions, ultimately causing them to use. Medical and psychiatric professionals can design a program that meets the unique needs of the addict, in continuum, providing a greater chance of recovery success. Drug and alcohol abuse recovery services should also provide after care services and support family participation in treatment to ensure long-term success.
