Rehab Checklist: What To Look For In An Addiction Treatment Facility

Oct 6 2020
Categories:Addiction Treatment

If you’ve never been to a rehab facility before, finding the right treatment center can be quite stressful. Whether you’re looking for a rehab for yourself or for a loved one, this is a very important decision that could affect the rest of your life. While there are many resources on the internet that talk about what to look for when choosing an addiction treatment center, all of these can be quite overwhelming especially when you’re faced with medical jargon or hard-to-understand treatment terminologies.

Seeking treatment for addiction should not be a complicated process. In recovery, every single day counts so by delaying your decision, you are not helping yourself get better. Instead of being confused with all the different trappings many addiction centers offer, all you need is to focus on the important factors when choosing a rehab for you or for your loved one.

To make the process easy for you, we listed down some important factors that you should consider during your rehab hunt. Hopefully, this information will help you in your search.

Is the addiction treatment center offering the appropriate treatment programs?

The treatment programs being offered in an addiction treatment center should be your first priority. Not all rehabs are experienced in dealing with different types of addiction so you have to check whether the facility has experience in treating your specific case.

For example, depending on the substance you are addicted to, you may need medication-assisted detox so the rehab should have this treatment program on offer as well as experienced professionals on-board who are knowledgeable in administering that process. Another example is if you are struggling with a co-occurring mental disorder. The facility should have a treatment program that can address your addiction as well as your mental condition.

Does the rehab employ expert addiction specialists?

Drug Rehab ChecklistTo successfully treat your addiction, you need to have skilled professionals who will guide you towards your recovery. They should be certified and experienced enough to help you get through this difficult stage in your life.

When looking for a rehab, you have to ask about the background of the people working for the facility. How many years have they been in the industry? What kind of qualifications do they have? Another important factor is to look at community reviews to learn about the culture of the place. This will help you learn whether the staff members are compassionate and caring towards clients.

Does the rehab provide a comfortable living environment conducive to treatment?

Addiction Treatment FacilityMany rehab centers downplay the importance of having a nice looking residential treatment facility. While we also believe that you do not need to live into a luxury house or a beachfront property to be successful in your recovery, we do believe that you have to spend your recovery in a comfortable living environment.

A residential facility has to be clean, cozy, spacious, and home-like. It shouldn’t be old, dirty, or cramped. When you live in a comfortable place, you will feel more relaxed so you can focus more on your recovery rather than worrying about your surroundings.

What other features does the facility offer?

Many people hesitate to go into rehab because they do not want to be trapped, thinking that they will end up bored and that they will have a miserable time inside the facility. To avoid this from happening, addiction treatment centers offer some features to make sure that clients will be well-taken care of. Some of the added features that you can look for include gardens, patios, high-end kitchens, chef-prepared meals, and access to fitness activities.

Some addiction treatment facilities also offer alternative therapies as part of a holistic treatment program. Examples of such therapies include art therapy, nature therapy, music therapy, sports programs, and more.

Does the rehab offer support after the rehab treatment is done?

Another important factor is to check if the rehab offers ongoing support when the rehab treatment is done. Does the rehab have an alumni program? Does it offer aftercare planning and mentorship support? Can they direct you to a transitional housing or sober living facility? These are just some of the aftercare considerations you have to check.

If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse, help is available.

Absolutely loved this place. Great counselors- my counselor was Johnny. Great Alumni aftercare program that helps keep you connected. I highly recommend Lighthouse for anyone struggling with alcohol or drug addiction.
