How to Choose the Right Rehab Facility

There are multiple factors to consider when choosing a rehabilitation center, including:

• Rehab payment options. If you plan to use your health insurance to pay for treatment, you’ll want to verify the facility is in-network with your provider. If you don’t have private insurance, check to see if the facility accepts state-funded insurance (Medicaid/Medicare) or offers financing options.
• Amenities and activities. Treatment should be a comfortable experience, so a facility’s amenities and activities are important to consider. Depending on what’s important to you, you can ask about recreational areas, private and community spaces, activities such as gardening, fishing, tennis, holistic therapies, and more.
• Location. It can be beneficial for individuals to attend treatment away from their current location to separate themselves from people and places that play a part in their addiction. Location is also an important factor if the person must travel there, reside there, or plans to have family involved in the treatment process.

Additional factors to consider:

• Program accreditation. A facility should be accredited and licensed by the state, which means they have fulfilled all of the state’s licensing requirements and undergone an evaluation by accrediting bodies to ensure they meet the set standards of care.
• Staff credentials. These ensure the staff is qualified to administer treatment and has met rigorous standards for licensure and certification.
• Individualized treatment plans. A quality facility will consider many factors about the patient (drug of choice, length of addiction, co-occurring disorders, etc.) and design a treatment plan specifically for them.
• On-site medical care. This is important for addressing any medical concerns or issues a patient may face while in treatment.
• Aftercare planning. Aftercare is beneficial to long-term sobriety. Quality facilities will include aftercare planning as a part of the overall treatment plan.
