New Latest A Forever Recovery Blog Post Offers Tips for Making Best Choices in Addiction Treatment
Battle Creek, MI (PRWEB) October 16, 2014 -- In its latest blog post, A Forever Recovery, an open-ended drug and alcohol treatment program that gets clients off to a great start and gives them a solid foundation in recovery they can believe in, is offering essential and potentially life changing – or even life saving – tips for making the best choices in addiction treatment.
“There are multiple addiction treatment options, and most individuals and families have no experience to help them make the right choice,” commented A Forever Recovery’s CEO Per Wickstrom. “It’s my hope that our latest blog posts sheds some light on this complex and extremely important decision.”
According to A Forever Recovery, individuals and families who want to make the best choice in addiction treatment should keep the following tips in mind:
• Ensure that a potential rehab facility has valid licensing and accreditation
• Ask questions about aftercare relapse prevention or response programs, and confirm that there are programs and support in place
• Pay attention to where the rehab facility is located; for many patients, the worst place they can be is in close proximity to places associated with their addiction (e.g. bad influences, work pressure, etc.)
• Confirm that families are encouraged and enabled to participate in the treatment
• Explore the various treatment methods offer, and ensure that the approach is holistic (e.g. respects the totality of the individual addict, which includes their emotional needs as well as their physical needs)
• Determine the level of individual care. While group sessions are important and helpful, there should be a meaningful degree of one-on-one treatment that is customized to the unique needs of each patient
• Pay attention to treatment length, and be wary of programs that promise “quick ins and outs.” Inpatient or residential programs have varying lengths, starting from about 30 days and lasting up to three months – or sometimes longer in the case of some patients who need additional support
• Ensure that the patients’ values are supported. For example, some patients will welcome and benefit from a treatment approach that involves a religious aspect, while others will not
• Since a rehab facility is a place where an addict will spend at least a few weeks – and possibly a few months – it’s important that he or she finds it a safe, comfortable and welcoming place to be
“Individuals and families who want to get the answers and information they need are advised to call or, better yet, arrange to visit a potential rehab facility, so that they can ask questions of administrators and staff,” added Per Wickstrom.
