Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

Drug Rehabs

Selecting a addiction treatment center for alcoholism and drug abuse may be one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. Most of us don’t know what to look for in a quality program. Not all addiction treatment centers are the same-they differ greatly in program options, staff qualifications, credentials, cost, and effectiveness. Before you make any decisions-ask questions and get the facts!

Drug Rehabs should offer a variety of programs?

Alcohol and drug addiction is a disease that progresses through predictable stages. It takes a trained health professional, often a doctor specializing in addiction medicine, to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the most appropriate addiction treatment. Drug rehabs should offer a variety of addiction treatment programs that meet individual needs. Addiction treatment programs may include inpatient, residential, outpatient, and/or short-stay options.

What do drug rehabs cost?

“How much do drug rehabs cost?” is often one of the first questions asked. All drug rehabs and alcohol rehabs differ in cost and method of payment. Many drug and alcohol rehabs will take your health insurance as a means of payment or you may be asked to pay privately. If you need help locating an addiction treatment center that will take your insurance call the national addiction treatment helpline at 1-800-511-9225.

Is the treatment program medically based?

There is an advantage to including an on-site medical care in a addiction treatment center. Physicians and nurses provide 24-hour medically based services to monitor and ensure the safest drug detox and withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs. In addition, a medical staff specializing in addiction medicine can oversee the progress of each individual and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
