Finding the right drug rehab center for yourself or a loved one can
sometimes be a difficult task. There are thousands of addiction treatment
facilities in the United States and many different methods of
rehabilitation.
Through our decades of combined experience, we have come to realize that those rehab programs that are longer-term, drug-free residential centers that use a biophysical approach are often the most successful.

Drug Rehab Questions
Different rehabilitation programs have different outlooks on what addiction is and how to treat it. There are some questions that you need to ask when looking for a successful program.
The first question should be, "What is your success rate, and how is that determined?" While a lot of programs may claim certain success rates, it is important to ask them how that is figured and what their retention rate is as well. If someone has a 90% success rate for those who complete the program, but only 25% of those who enroll actually finish, then that success rate doesn't mean nearly as much.
Another question, which is a little more obvious, is, "How much does the program cost?" Drug rehab programs aren't like hospitals, in that they do not have to accept patients who cannot pay. There are programs that contract with state and federal governments to be able to provide services at no cost, but those usually have long waiting lists. A general rule of thumb we've found is that inpatient drug rehab programs cost about $7,000 per month on average. Therefore, a longer-term residential facility can easily jump into the 20K-40K range. It is also important to ask them, though, if there are any additional fees or costs associated with that facility.
A very important question also needs to be, "What is your philosophy and method of treatment?" Many programs now days simply offer some counseling and some medications, and 30 days later all you have is someone who is drugged in a different way with no new life skills. A program that expects results and works to rehabilitate the individual as a whole, not just treat the symptoms of drug use, will have a better overall outcome.
