Quality of Treatment
Not all treatment centers are of equal value or quality. I help families find the best treatment they can afford without over-paying for it.
Cost of Treatment
Most families have financial limitations, even if they have insurance benefits. Quality treatment can usually be found even with significant financial limitations.
Location of Treatment Center
Some people need to leave the area where they live, others need to stay close by so that family and friends can support them; there are other variables to consider as well.
Dual Diagnosis
Finding a viable treatment option when there is a co-occurring condition can be a complex challenge and usually affects the cost of treatment.
Integrated/Segregated Treatment
For a variety of reasons, it can be important to consider whether the treatment center treats men and women separately or together.
Previous Treatment Experiences
If your loved-one has been in treatment before, they may need a different treatment experience than the one they had or it may be valuable to return to a previous treatment facility/provider.
Aftercare Treatment
The recovery process always involves more than the residential treatment. A plan for continued treatment and maintenance is essential in maintaining sobriety and successful recovery. Consideration needs to be given to how a treatment center handles follow-up care after your loved-one leaves residential treatment.
Personality of the Treatment Center
Each treatment center has an unique personality and feel to it. While this is a very subjective consideration, it can be a useful one at times. When used, it may represent the “tie breaker” if other factors are equal.
