Drug Rehab Centers

Going online you can search and find thousands of websites leading to thousands of different drug abuse rehab centers. In fact, some estimates show as many as 15,000 rehabs throughout the country. The trouble with this is that there are various approaches to treatment and rehabilitation and some are much more successful than others.

We recommend rehab centers that do not view drug abuse and addiction as a disease or use any type of replacement drugs to treat addiction. We feel that these programs present a potentially hopeless outlook if the addict thinks he's diseased for life or that he must take medications forever. The truth is that neither one of these are permanent answers to drug abuse. Rehab centers that use an educational approach for life application that teach empowerment instead of powerlessness are more successful.

How to Choose a Rehab Center

In addition to the educational aspect, rehab facilities that address the physical damage caused by the drugs is also a key issue. These might include a body cleansing to handle any remaining cravings, nutritional supplements to counteract internal deficiencies, rebuilding glandular production and repairing organ functions. Our bodies are miraculous healers, and given the right boost with natural elements they can repair themselves even faster.

Ideally these components would be addressed in a long-term residential rehabilitation facility that has no set time limit or minimum. Each person has their own individual needs for recovering and should be allowed to move at their own pace in order to effectively address those situations.

When choosing a drug abuse rehab center for yourself or a loved one some questions you should ask include:

How long is the program?
How much does the program cost, and are there any extra costs?
What is the success rate of the rehab center?
What is the philosphy on treating addiction?
Do they feel that relapse is inevitable or do they think people can permanently recover without needing further treatment?
What kind of discharge planning and follow-up or aftercare is available?

As you dig into your research, you may want to ask for references to verify what they are telling you, such as other professionals that don't work for the facility, alumni of the program and even family members who have sent loved ones there. While you may not get a long list of people openly willing to talk about their personal experiences, if a rehab center can't provide at least a couple of names then you should consider another facility.

If you come across information that seems to be contrary to what the rehab center is telling you, ask them more questions before writing them off, or feel free to contact us with other questions on how to verify their claims.
