Choosing the Right Addiction Treatment Program
My son has a drug problem and we would like to send him to a drug rehab. We are looking around at the options available to us and we are finding it difficult to determine which is best. These programs are very expensive and we want to ensure that we are getting good value for our money and that we are sending him to a program that is going to give him the best chance at really beating his addiction. How can we compare the success rates of different programs? As medical facilities these places must keep records of their treatment success rates. Is there some database which compares the treatment success rates of different drug rehabs? I have looked online but I cannot find it, but I am not sure that I am searching correctly for it. I assume that such a database, if it exists, would be governmental in nature. If you any information on this or on other reasonable ways to compare the success rates of different rehabs we would be very grateful to find out. Thank you
Read answer →Does Outpatient Rehab Make More Sense Sometimes than Inpatient Rehab
Doesn’t it make more sense for me to stay at home and do an outpatient program? I went to rehab last year and everything seemed great while I was away but it was so artificial because I wasn’t near all the people and places I had always used with and in. I relapsed like within a month of getting out and haven’t been clean since. My parents want me to go back in, but I think that this time I should do an outpatient program so at least I don’t get that big surprise after graduation and my return to home. Does an intensive outpatient program make more sense for someone like me?

How important is it to get into rehab that uses saunas as a way to really sweat out all of the drug metabolites. Some programs seem to use them extensively and others very minimally or not at all. Is this a necessary part of a treatment program?
