About 23.9 million or 9.2 percent of Americans over the age of 12 reported trying illicit drugs or psychotherapeutic medication at least once in 2012. Maybe you or a loved one are included in that statistic, but instead of trying drugs once, you’re now hooked. If so, a Healthsmart Drug Rehab Treatment Center can provide you with help and support as you get and stay clean.
When to go to Rehab
Often, drug addicts don’t realize they need drug rehabilitation until it’s too late. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you need to go to rehab right away.
- Neglecting responsibilities
- Finding no joy in hobbies or other fun activities
- Using drugs in dangerous conditions
- Taking risks while high
- Experiencing relationship problems because of drugs
- Facing legal trouble because of drug use
- Needing more and more drugs to get high
- Relying on drugs to relieve withdrawal symptoms
How do you Choose a Rehab?
Hundreds of rehabs operate around the United States. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the selection, make a checklist to determine which rehab you should choose.
1. Is detox available?
2. Where is the rehab located?
3. Will I stay in the inpatient or outpatient program?
4. What kind of therapy is offered?
5. Will my family be included in therapy?
6. Are comorbidity issues addressed?
7. What’s the rehab’s success rate?
8. Will I receive life skills training to help me after rehab’s over?
9. Is after-care available?
10. Can I afford the cost?
How to Pay for Rehab
The cost of rehab is a huge factor in why many addicts don’t seek help. Your insurance is likely to cover at least a portion of your treatment, though, especially if you go to a Healthsmart Drug Rehab Treatment Center and see in-network providers who contract with your insurance to offer treatment discounts. Check with your mental health team to determine what kind of drug addiction treatment you need. Then read your insurance policy to determine financial details like which rehabs, therapists, medications and other treatments are covered.
Getting and staying clean after a drug addiction requires hard work and patience. You can do it, though, with professional help found at a Healthsmart Drug Rehab Treatment Center.
