Things to Check in Alcohol Addiction Treatment Centers
by Ella Wilson Love to writeThe hardest part of starting the addiction treatment process is admitting that you need help, but the step that comes next--choosing where to go to help yourself detoxify and beat your addiction--can be almost as difficult. Or at least, it can seem difficult if you don’t know where to start with your research. Once you have decided that an inpatient stay at a rehab center is the right choice for you or your loved one, it is time to ask the right questions when evaluating possible treatment programs. Read on for a list of things to check when you’re considering which alcohol addiction treatment center in Scottsdale is right for you.
Staff qualification and accreditation
You should not consider checking in to a rehab center not accredited by the proper state authorities. According to Addictionblog.org, you should also check to make sure that the rehab center you are considering is staffed by qualified and licensed professionals. It is advisable to find out the individuals who will be responsible for your different levels of care and check to see what their qualifications are.
Program length
While 28 days is a very common length of time for a rehab stay, not every treatment program will conform to this number of days. Depending on the specifics of your condition or your loved one’s, you may want an inpatient stay that is shorter or longer. Be sure to check with the rehab centers you’re considering to see how long their recommended programs are.
Treatment for co-morbid disorders
Many addicts suffer from mental health problems or disorders alongside their addiction to drugs or alcohol, and these mental or emotional problems can contribute to their addiction. According to SpringBoard Recovery, many addicts also have depression, anxiety, or another type of psychological disorder, and in addition to this long-term drug use may cause new mental health conditions or issues to arise. Therefore, alcohol addiction treatment centers in Scottsdale must be able to treat these co-morbid psychological disorders in addition to the drug addiction alone. If left untreated, mental health problems are likely to interrupt recovery and trigger a relapse once the patient has checked out of rehab.
Insurance and financing options
No addict who is just starting down the path to recovery should have to also shoulder the burden of crushing medical debt. To avoid getting buried under medical costs, make sure you check whether or not your insurance can cover the treatment you are considering. If you have found a treatment center that meets all of your other needs but is not in-network with your insurance, don’t despair. Ask about financing options, because a quality alcohol addiction treatment center will be more than willing to work with you and your specific financial situation.
Once you have checked on all these different factors, the decision about where to go for rehab will be much easier to make. Choosing a rehab center is a crucial step on the road to recovery, and your inpatient stay has the potential to change your life for the better.
