Important Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Women’s Recovery Center

Posted in Halfway House, Rehab on Jul 06, 2017

  1. Is Your Facility Licensed?

Before buying into a treatment facility, make sure that the facility is licensed and accredited. Surprisingly, many “recovery centers” pose as certified facilities with a trained staff, but they are instead preying on families who are seeking help for a loved one.

  1. What Should We Expect?

Entrusting someone with your loved one’s health is a major decision. Make sure you understand what you’re getting into first. The treatment center support staff should be able to clearly outline the facility’s procedures.

  1. What Is Your Philosophy?

Each medical facility has a different approach to treatment and how they go about implementing it. The ultimate goal should always be to give someone who is struggling with addiction the tools to be sober, but be sure to find out what steps they will take to get there.

  1. How Long Is the Detox Program?

Undergoing the detox process can be a shock to an addict’s system. Not only are they in an unfamiliar environment, but they may experience severe symptoms of withdrawal.

  1. What is Your Payment Policy?

 Although providing sober living for women is the ultimate goal of a treatment and recovery center, it’s still a business and businesses have expenses. Before taking yourself or a loved one to a treatment facility, find out what their payment policies are to ensure that you can afford the costs.

  1. What Is the Atmosphere of the Treatment Center Like?

Where an addict receives treatment is an incredibly important aspect of the recovery process. To be somewhere that you don’t want to be, doing things that you don’t want to do is infuriating. It’s important for the patient to feel comfortable while they detox and work towards substance abuse treatment.
