Substance Abuse Programs: How Do I Choose the Best One?

There are many wonderfully effective substance abuse programs throughout the country, but not all of them can meet your individual needs. By calling Recovery Connection®, we can assist you in identifying those needs and help you locate a substance abuse treatment program that’s capable of meeting them. Some of the questions you may want to consider when looking for a substance abuse treatment program are:

Does it have its own medical detox program?
Is it JCAHO accredited?
Does its facility provide dual diagnosis treatment?
Does its facility provide a variety of addiction treatment programs?
Does it provide family treatment?
Does it include a relapse prevention program?
If you happen to be gay, lesbian or bisexual, is this a "gay-friendly" facility?
What credentialing does the staff have?
Are the physicians trained in addiction medicine and certified through ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine)?
Does it accept health insurance?

These are just a few of the questions we consider when suggesting where you could go for substance abuse treatment. We are familiar with substance abuse programs throughout the country. We have a vast, nationwide directory of treatment programs to choose from, so we firmly believe that we can locate a reputable treatment provider that can make a difference in your life.

Are Substance Abuse Programs the Same as Drug Rehab Programs?

When a person refers to substance abuse, it is the same as saying drug abuse or alcohol abuse. It is in these programs that the addictive substance, whether it be drugs or alcohol, is effectively removed from the body through detoxification and followed by a period of rehabilitation. Some of the different types of drug rehab programs include:

Inpatient drug rehab
Outpatient drug rehab
Partial hospitalization or day substance abuse treatment
Drug rehab with a dual diagnosis treatment component
Drug addiction treatment component for the gay and lesbian community

Each of these substance abuse programs are accompanied by a set of clinical criteria, which must be met in order for a positive outcome to occur. It becomes the responsibility of a trained addiction treatment professional to evaluate you and determine the most effective modality of care.
