How to Choose a Treatment Center
When looking for a treatment facility, consider the facility’s expertise. Facilities should be vetted by third party analysts and have good standing in their local community. Ask the center these questions:
- Do you have any accreditations, like Joint Commission Accreditation?
- What are the qualifications of your staff? What are their credentials?
- How do you prevent relapse? What happens if a patient relapses?
- Are patients able to communicate with their families while in treatment?
- Do you offer detox or have detox partners?
Quality treatment facilities should be open about answering these and any other questions you or your loved ones may have about the treatment process. We offer resources for families of addicts in addition to these resources to help answer questions you may have.
