Family members need objective information about effective rehab centers.
Drug addiction and alcoholism disrupts and torments families as well as ruining the abuser’s life. When a family member truly wants the best recovery program for their loved one, a drug rehab consultant should be contacted.
I find drug rehab that works. That’s why I created a referral site, wrote all these articles and why people contact me when looking for drugand alcohol programs that will end addictions problem; even if a longstanding substance abuse problem and a dozen treatment attempts haven’t solved the problem, yet.
Factually, select rehab options get 65% to 94% success on average. Higher success would be possible but some drug abusers don’t wish to end their habit. By my experience approximately 80% of addicts going to rehab want to end their addiction. But, they simply don’t know how to move on in life and stay clean.
You may have your own blind spots regarding a family member’s addiction. Having an outside and unbiased consultant consider factors you haven’t yet looked at can make a huge difference in selecting a successful program the first time or the tenth time.
Determining the potential success of a detox or rehab candidate is part of a consulting assessment.
Alcohol and drug treatment is most effective in inpatient recovery centers for longer term problems.
Drug rehab should be the process of riding an addict or alcoholic of obsessions and compulsions to abuse drugs. Effective substance abuse treatment programs should return a teen or adult to full control over their lives again, not merely get the person to stop drinking or drugging.
Outpatient Programs
Rehab programs that use counselors, doctors, social workers, meetings etc, while the person continues living at home is effective for people able to stop using drugs and alcohol while processing their lives through recovery.
If a person is ‘slipping’ frequently or continue to use, outpatient programs are not appropriate for their situation.
Outpatient programs are generally run through state or city funded health centers, community centers, or private counselors.
Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab
An inpatient program may be located in a private residence, lodge, center, clinic, hospital or retreat.
1. Publicly funded or partially subsidized inpatient rehab is usually run through centers or clinics designed specifically for a rehab program. Some are simply add-ons to a hospital or clinic. These should provide space to exercise, take a walk and also be in a very secure location.
The philosophy of the center should focus on complete rehabilitation, not simply beginning a continuum of care.
2. Private rehab residences, centers or retreats are generally located in pleasant and therapeutic locations that assist recovery. Sometimes exclusive residential rehab centers are required for individuals needing individual attention or privacy.
The methods of rehabilitation used should be consistent with their philosophy. Are medications used at the center? Have they compromised their program philosophy by using mood altering or addictive drugs? Do they expect their clients to recover at the center?
3. Larger drug rehab centers also offer opportunities of a therapeutic community, lots of space and amenities, exercise areas etc, all on the premises. Large rehab centers provide a different experience than those exclusive to a handful of clients.
How many trained counselors are at the center? Do they do security watches? How do they respond to drug or alcohol violations?
Referring clients to rehabs that work is the first priority and commitment made to a client. This may mean a rehab consultant refers substance abusers to treatment in more modest or more expensive, but secure surroundings. It may require they travel far away to get to a safe and suitable location.
Inpatient facilities tend to work best for teens and addicted people who wish to get assistance and resolve a drug problem rapidly and completely.
4. Luxury rehab centers and detox facilities have made an inpatient program more comfortable for substance abuse treatment. The finest effective rehab may require anticipating all of a clients needs. Luxury accommodations and holistic medical care offer the finest in recovery programs. These are not necessarily the most effective, but may provide services beyond the norm. Essentially, people’s problems must be met through the rehab program.
The Purpose of Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation
Sober living is the primary objective of rehab. Insuring successful sobriety requires something more from a rehab. Health, honesty, success and happiness of a person returning to live in society should be the method of assuring long-term recovery.
Therefore finding and locating drug and alcohol rehab centers that use effective programs of recovery, should be the objective of a family member seeking help for a loved one abusing drugs or alcohol.
Rehabilitate means to bring back to proper or a former healthy or good condition. If a person still needs treatment, have they been rehabilitated?
Rehabilitation includes returning social responsibility to substance abusers as well as repairing the physical and mental consequences of drug abuse. Emotionally, people may be a wreck after drugs have ravaged their lives. All these factors should be addressed in a holistic way. That would make up a recovery program worthy of the term rehabilitation.
Drug rehab programs should insist the person in recovery demonstrates they have been rehabilitated before leaving the rehab center. Rehabilitation happens in rehab, and evidence of recovery through ones actions, responsibility and self control is manifested before returning home.

Caution:
If a rehabilitation programs don’t or won’t clearly relay success rates and their in-patient treatment is 30 days, a person may expect many return visits and still not achieve full recovery.
Relapse doesn’t need to be part of a recovery plan. However, knowledge of slips and how to repair oneself if they occur should be included in a life-long strategy.
