When you know that you have a substance abuse problem then it’s time to get professional help to get through it and break the addiction. Proper treatment at a solid facility with a licensed and well-trained staff is an essential component of the recovery process. But once you begin the long journey of helping yourself become the best version of you that you can be, how do you find a great facility for your rehab?

The first question is what kind of facility or what kind of structure do you need for your particular recovery? Individuals with severe addiction problems to serious and hard drugs almost certainly require an overnight inpatient problem. This way their recovery can be monitored and controlled 24/7 by trained staff and doctors. If you or your loved one has a less severe addiction then you may be able to commit to an outpatient program. With an outpatient program you sleep at your home but make sure to check in to the facility daily for treatment. Once you have successfully completed an outpatient or inpatient program you will then begin and continue the ongoing recovery process with support recovery groups.

Then you need to make sure that the facility specializes in treating your type of addiction. Overcoming every type of addiction has its different set of challenges with recovery and withdrawal. Remember withdrawals from alcoholism are very different than withdrawals from stimulants. So the treatment is much different. Make sure that the facility has a lot of experience helping people with your particular addiction.

You should then shift your focus to what kind of aftercare programs that the facility offers as well as what kind of payment plans are offered. Remember this was a difficult process for you or your family. You have made tremendous strides so it’s important that you stay focused on recovery and the only way that happens is with some sort of on-going support and meetings.

After you have found the correct facility and are ready to either enroll yourself or your loved one then the question becomes how can I pay for the treatment? Well, the good news is if you are in desperate need for the help rehab can provide then there are different programs and grants from generous foundations that can help you and your family through this difficult time. Grants offered by companies like the Hanley Center Foundation help those in need get the treatment that they need. No matter how you do it, you must get help for you or your loved one if they are trapped within the addiction spiral.
