Each year, millions of Americans seek drug rehab for a substance use disorder. Finding the right drug rehab facility is a crucial step toward recovery. At the same time, asking the right questions can help you determine if a particular rehab center meets your needs or those of your loved one. Here are some key questions to ask when evaluating a drug rehab facility:

- What types of treatment programs do you offer (e.g., inpatient, outpatient, detox)?
- Do you use evidence-based treatment methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?
- Is your program individualized for each patient, or is there a standard treatment plan?
Credentials and Accreditation
- Is your facility accredited by organizations such as the Joint Commission or CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities)?
- Are your staff members licensed and experienced in addiction treatment?
- What qualifications do your medical professionals and therapists have?
Length and Structure of the Program
- How long does your rehab program typically last?
- What does a typical day in treatment look like?
- Can the length of the program be adjusted based on patient progress?
Family Involvement and Support
- Do you offer family therapy or support programs?
- How can loved ones be involved in the recovery process?
- What kind of aftercare support do you provide for both the patient and their family?
Relapse Prevention and Aftercare
- What kind of relapse prevention strategies do you teach?
- Do you offer ongoing support, such as alumni programs or outpatient services?
