Residential Drug Treatment Centers and Success Rates
Posted by: dscott In: Drug Addiction
When residential drug rehab treatment centers begin quoting success rates I want to gag. The reason is that they want to make their residential drug rehab treatment center look good, but what is their real definition of success. Is it the person who completes their drug treatment center, is it based upon them being sober for a period of time after completing the treatment center and does relapse enter the picture.
Many of these residential treatment centers quote 75% success rates, which anyone knows is not the case. Other residential drug treatment centers guarantee recovery and they are flat out misleading. Any rehab that quotes you those type of numbers you should definitely shy away from. The reason is if they are misleading prior to admission, you can not be sure of the ethics that have been instilled in the staff providing the actual care. Again, be careful of any residential rehab quoting guaranteed recovery. it is not possible.
