When it comes to addiction, it may feel as though you have nowhere to turn. That's what got you into this situation, in the beginning. Once you've come to terms with the truth about your addiction, you may feel lost, unsure of how to walk down this path to recovery. Fortunately, you've already taken the first step by acknowledging your addiction. While everyone walks a different path on this journey, rehab can play a vital role in ensuring you beat your addiction. This time in your life may leave you feeling overwhelmed. There is little doubt you can find the right program. Equipped with the right questions you can use rehab to bridge the gap between the burden of addiction and the freedom that comes with recovery. The right rehab facility will have the tools necessary to support and ensure a successful recovery. These are some questions to consider asking when choosing the rehab facility and program that will work best for you.
Is it faith-based or spiritual in nature? Is it backed up by proven science and medicine with a strong team of doctors and clinicians? If you're a religious person, a faith-based program might be right up your alley. You might find that prayer, meditation, and talk therapy offer the solace and peace you once thought could only be found by escaping into a world of drugs and alcohol. Perhaps, you're a person who needs tools and a team of trained individuals to guide you through them. Perhaps medication will be part of your treatment. Your personality will play a role in determining which kind of rehab program will lead to success on this journey.
When considering your personality, it is also important to ask how a given facility tailors its program to the individual, or if they tailor it at all. A consistent routine and a regular program may be suited for those who need stability to see success in recovery. Will it help to feel like you're part of a team playing by the same rules, getting support from those who are going through the same process? This kind of rehab program might be for you. However, if you're someone who thrives on variety and spontaneity, you'll want to channel that into successful recovery rather than destructive behavior. You might feel more inclined to reach out to a rehab facility who will nurture these needs, finding and using tools and methods that will work specifically for you, while committing to help you beat your addiction.
Financing rehab may be one of the first questions you have. How am I going to pay for this? What will my insurance cover? Will the rehab facility I want accept my insurance? These questions may perhaps be the most overwhelming, but they are crucial. Addiction is detrimental to your health and well-being; recovery is vital to a healthy, happy, and fulfilling lifestyle. Don't be intimidated. People working in recovery want to help you get better, not worse. Narrow down your choices and be open to different rehab programs and facilities. Ask to speak with a social worker at the rehab facility and see if they will advocate on your behalf with insurance. Talk to your insurance provider and ask them to assist in your search for a program within their network. Another thing to consider is that many employers now offer programs to their employees hoping to promote positive work-life balance. They may utilize insurance or subsidize treatments to help their employees get on the right track. Reach out to those who can help you find the right answers. The process isn't as overwhelming when you realize just how many people are in your corner.
Is there a support system in place through an outpatient center? Often, success after rehab is because of the maintenance programs and options offered when a patient leaves a facility. You may be encouraged to find a sponsor. You might find yourself seeking out weekly or daily support groups. It is important to know if this will be in cooperation with your chosen facility and what kind of role they play in patients' lives after discharge.
This may seem like a vague question, but when you think about it, the success rate of a program or facility can speak volumes. Today, we have a wealth of information at our fingertips. Ask if you can visit the facility. If you know someone who is living successfully in recovery, and you feel comfortable, ask them if they would recommend a particular program or facility. At the end of the day, word-of-mouth, statistics, and your comfort will paint a fairly accurate picture of where you should invest your time and money seeking help to beat your addiction! Remember, there is no one right way, one right path on this journey. Rehab is often a successful part of many people who have struggled and fought to beat addiction once and for all. There are a variety of programs and facilities. They have one common goal, and it's the same as yours - to live a life free of addiction. Use these questions to guide you when you are considering rehab, and know that there are people and a support system rooting for you on this journey.
