Types of Treatment Programs

Questions to Ask a Drug Rehab Center

What results do you expect?

Different programs might expect different results. Some programs consider a person who is on methadone to be fully recovered. Other centers consider completing a 28-day program as a success. It is important to know what this center expects and if it coincides with your goals.

Is the program long or short-term?

The most common type of drug rehab program is a 28-day program. For some people, this is a good length of time, while for others this is not enough.

Does this treatment program substitute the drug of choice with a legal one?

There are many different drug treatment programs offering methadone, buprenorphine, or Suboxone. Although this can help the addict to come off of benzos or heroin, it can also make the addict addicted to a new drug. If your goal is complete sobriety, then you need a program that can aid in that goal.

Does the program have a method of alleviating physical cravings for drugs or alcohol?

Cravings are normal in recovery. It is important that a drug rehab knows how to work with these cravings and use things such as support meetings or counseling.

Is there a nutritional component involved in the program?

In order for an addict to feel strong and be healthy, nutrition is of the utmost importance. Poor nutrition can actually lead to stronger drug cravings. This is why your drug rehab program should provide this support.

Does the program teach life skills to support sober living?

Regardless of how the addicted feels when leaving a drug rehab, life will resume once on the outside. The stress of life and influences from before can come back around to haunt them. Good rehab programs should be able to supply proper life skills to be able to deal with this.

Does rehab hint to offer an instant cure or unlikely promise?

All treatment programs are different, just how all people are different. Each person handles addiction differently and there should never be a promise of an instant cure.

Are You Struggling With Addiction?

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, then you are not alone. It is said that almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction, and only 10% of them receive treatment. From 1999 to 2017, more than 700,000 Americans died from overdosing on a drug. Do not become a statistic. Contact a Drug Rehab today.
