Factors to Consider When Choosing an Opiate Rehab

Choosing a rehab program that fits your needs will benefit your recovery!

You know yourself better than anyone, which means that you know your likes and dislikes and you know what makes you happy. Coming off of opiates may be painful and will carry with it withdrawal symptoms that you may need support and resources to help you get through. You will get all of the resources you need through an opiate rehab, but you need to pick a rehab that you feel will meet your needs thoroughly.

One of the first aspects of your soon to be rehab that you should consider is the location. Do you have family and friends that you wish to see while you are in treatment? If you do, then you should consider finding an opiate rehab that is in close proximity to your friends and family. If you want to surround yourself with new faces or if you wish to leave your hometown and go to fresh new place, then you should go to a rehab that is far away from your hometown.

Another evident aspect in finding the right treatment for you will be the expenses you will have to pay for treatment. If you have health insurance you should check with your provider and see if they will cover any type of rehab treatment, because some providers do cover some of the expenses. If not, you will have to figure out what you can spend on treatment, but keep in mind that many treatment facilities will work with you on payment.

You should also consider what type of environment you like to surround yourself with. This is especially important if you are going to rehab that you will be living at. For example, do you like to be surrounded by nature? Are you religious? Do you like to be around people of the same sex? Are you social or shy? These questions are important because there are thousands of rehabs out there; all of which have different environments and offer different services. There are rehabs that are religious based, and rehabs that are only for one sex, and there are rehabs that board up to 100 people whereas others only accept 20 people at one time. Figure out what you are the most comfortable with and search for a rehab that meets your needs.

After you get a clearer picture on what you are looking for in a rehab you can decide if you want to go to an inpatient opiate rehab or an outpatient opiate rehab. At an inpatient rehab you will be living on the premises and you will be provided with 24/7 care. At an outpatient rehab you will have scheduled days and times to be at the facility but you will live your normal life outside of treatment. Inpatient rehabs are more expensive but they are very effective because a person will have to stay clean once they are admitted. Outpatient rehabs are less expensive but they provide the support and resources to help you stay clean, however it is up to you to continue to stay clean once you are out of treatment.

Once you have figured out what your needs are in a rehab you can then begin to conduct research on different rehabs and visit each one until you find one that you feel will provide you with the best service to meet your needs.
