The Importance of Asking Questions Before Entering a Drug Rehab Program
Asking questions isn’t easy. Asking questions about potential rehab programs may be intimidating. When we’re feeling vulnerable and in need of help, and especially when we’re asking those questions of strangers, it can feel downright daunting. However, asking straightforward and sometimes tough questions up front, expecting thorough answers, and not settling for less will ensure you are set up for success when it comes to getting the help you need.
Entering a drug rehab program is a life-changing endeavor. You and your loved ones deserve to access the tools to help you make informed decisions and know what to expect from the experience.
Questions to Ask When Choosing a Drug Rehab Facility
Approaching each potential facility with a list of questions to ask and a place to jot down notes to compare their answers will make choosing the right program easier. Consider it a red flag if you’re rushed through your questions and staff are unwilling or unable to answer them. Conversely, pay attention to which rehab facilities make you feel welcome and comfortable by taking the time to listen, understand, and thoroughly answer your questions.
Some great questions to start with are:
- Is your rehab center licensed and accredited?
- What is your Better Business Bureau rating?
- Do you utilize evidence-based treatment techniques, and if so, what are your methods?
- How are your programs individualized to each client’s needs?
- What makes your rehab program different?
- What kind of detox support do you offer?
- How long is your residential treatment program?
- How long are your other treatment programs?
- Are you able to treat dual-diagnosis clients?
- What family support programs and resources are offered?
- What kind of aftercare, continuing care, and transitional support do you offer?
- What is the cost of your programming?
- What payment plans and assistance options are available?
- What insurances are accepted?
- What are the amenities, and are they included in the price?
- Can you cater to specialized dietary and cultural needs? If so, how?
- Do clients have roommates or private quarters?
