What Is the Process Like in a Drug Detox and Rehab Facility?

When you first arrive at a treatment center, the goal is to build an individualized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. To do this, the first phase of the drug treatment process or the alcohol treatment process is usually an in-depth intake assessment. This can feel intimidating because you’re meeting with your care providers and discussing your physical and mental history, as well as your history of substance abuse. However, being open and honest during this time is so important since the information you discuss will set the foundation of your treatment plan.

The next phase of the treatment process may be supervised detox if you haven’t already detoxed when you arrive at the facility.

The third phase of the treatment process is rehabilitation, which includes different approaches such as group therapy, one-on-one therapy, and sometimes family therapy and recreational therapy.

The final phase of the treatment process is the implementation of your aftercare plans.

Finding the Best Rehab Program for You

It can be overwhelming to compare all of the different addiction treatment programs that are available in Florida and nationally, and to choose the right one for you. The best drug rehab centers will have certain qualifications but, beyond that, learning how to find the best rehab center depends on your individual needs. For example, while all of the best rehab centers will have certain licensing and accreditation, you should think about whether you would benefit from specialized treatment, or what you’re most comfortable with a program.

Questions to think about as far as your personal needs might include:

  • Are you comfortable with a specialized treatment program? Would you prefer to be in a single-gender rehab center?
  • Have you tried other types of treatment before and relapsed?
  • What level of care do you need based on the severity of your addiction?
  • Do you need dual diagnosis care for a co-occurring mental health disorder?
  • Can you travel for treatment or will you need to stay close to home?
What Questions Should You Ask When Considering a Treatment Program?

Beyond thinking about your personal needs, there are questions to ask a treatment facility as you compare their programs to others. The following are some questions to ask rehab centers you’re thinking about to gauge the type of care they offer and their quality of care:

Are treatment plans individualized?

While there is a general set of steps that are typically followed during the addiction treatment process, it still needs to be tailored to the individual for rehab to be effective. You should ask rehab centers that you’re considering if they build treatment plans around the individual and, if so, how they go about doing that.

What methods of treatment are used?

Some treatment centers will have an on-site detox that’s part of their program. Beyond supervised detox, what other types of treatment are used? How much time is spent in group therapy and is one-on-one therapy also part of the program? What specific therapeutic approaches are used—for example, is therapy primarily cognitive-behavioral? Are recreational and holistic forms of therapy integrated? Does the rehab center use a 12-step approach?

Do you accept insurance?

A lot of people worry they can’t afford addiction treatment, but that’s not necessarily the case. Yes, rehab can be expensive, particularly for inpatient programs that include room and board, but most insurance plans will cover a significant portion of the costs. Ask rehab centers not only if they accept your insurance, but also the extent to which they can work with your provider on your behalf.

Are nutrition and life skills part of the program?

Addiction is complex. It’s about a lot more than substance abuse and a good rehab center with quality care will address this complexity in treatment. As part of this, ask rehab centers if they include nutrition and life skills in their programs. These elements can help you successfully go back into your daily life and be a healthy, productive part of society.

Exploring Treatment Options Near Auburndale, FL  

Should you stay near home and receive drug abuse treatment near Auburndale, or should you travel somewhere else in Florida or perhaps out-of-state?

This is, again, a personal decision.

If you are physically able to travel, there can be benefits. For example, you can put your environment of substance misuse behind you so you can focus solely on your treatment and recovery. Traveling for rehab also provides you with more program options and it reduces the likelihood you’ll leave treatment early.

Staying close to home may have benefits as well. For example, if you have a strong home support system, they may be able to visit you and even be part of your treatment.

You have to decide what’s right for you in terms of whether or not you travel for rehab.
