Q: How should I decide on a rehab facility?
Discuss your treatment needs with a health-care professional, e.g., an addictionologist, drug/alcohol counselor, psychiatrist, or primary care physician. Also contact treatment facilities and discuss their treatment philosophies and processes. Questions to ask include:
- Is the facility licensed?
- What is the training level of the staff?
- Does the program fit your needs?
- If needed, can medical detox services be provided?
- Is the program 12 Step-based?
- What does the program involve (e.g., group therapy, weekly psychiatric visits)?
- What is the cost?
