What is Rehab?

Historically, “rehab” was a term used to describe treatment for alcohol and/or drug addiction. You often hear “drug rehab” or “alcohol rehab,” specifying the type of treatment the program offers.
How do I know if need rehab?

Individuals need rehab if their lives have become unmanageable because of their addictive behaviors. Addiction is characterized by the inability to control the use of drugs, alcohol, sex, and/or gambling despite negative consequences.
Can I leave rehab once admitted?
Most facilities do not allow individuals to leave campus without a staff member. A facility is either “locked” or “non-locked.” If an individual is not safe in a non-locked facility, he will be recommended to a locked facility.
