How to PicK an Effective Alcohol and Drug Rehab

The only similarity in choosing a drug and alcohol rehab as compared to picking a treatment for any other serious disease, like cancer or heart disease, in that both of these fields offer the consumer many choices. However, the difference in choosing a traditional medical program and looking for alcohol and drug rehab lies in (1) the level of professional training and professional expertise (2) a treatment-wide acceptance of constitutes alcohol and drug treatment and, because of the other previous two differences, (3) a predictability of success . Most hospitals that are treating cancer or heart disease are employing clinical skills and techniques that are founded in research and have clinical protocols that are similar and proven to be successful and are pretty closely followed by everyone. Alcohol and drug rehab programs haven't reached that level of understanding and scientific scrutiny and therefore leave it up to the consumer to wade through all of the testimonials on the internet about why everyone favors their own particular program. In fact, many intake counselors will fabricate lies about other programs in an attempt to sway you towards their program.

Alcohol and drug treatment program modalities or types are based on whatever management "feels" is successful, and is usually the type of program that the staff have attended as their personal treatment. That my sound absurd, but in reviewing over 150 programs throughout the U.S. and Europe, it is the rule, rather than the exception. Routinely, whatever was successful in helping the owners or mangers of the program in their recovery, will be the emphasis in the clinical style that they will be using. That is one reason why you find programs where you can complete their regime in 21 days and others that require a year or more. The alcohol and drug rehab field has yet to establish a program model of success that is followed by all.

Naturally, most people think that the longer a program takes, the better its outcomes, but that isn't necessarily the case. Many times the year-long programs get about the same, shameful, lack of success as the 21-30 day programs.

So which ones are the best programs and how do you choose which programs have the best success in handling your problem or that of someone you love?
You enlist the help of trained and experienced, third party specialist who can guide you through your treatment options carefully explaining the pros and cons of each and documenting recovery rate statistics. However, the internet does not guarantee that you are necessarily talking with someone that really is a trusted and trained professional that has the education and experience to actually be an "expert" in this field. In fact, you may be talking with someone who knows very little about the comparative analysis of different modalities of treatment or the qualities and problems of individual rehab centers.

If you call our hotline, 1-877-444-1137, you will be talking to a professional with a Master's Degree and PhD training in the alcohol and drug rehab field, someone that has over 30 years of experience as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and has reviewed over 150 rehab program on site.

Many of the other sites on the web have "counselors" that have attended rehab and are speaking from their experience. That information is important, as well, but it isn't a legitimate comparative analysis of the different programs. It is an opinion. They may be "certified drug counselors", which is also important, but certification indicates that the person has two to three years of experience in the field and was able to pass an exam regarding his knowledge in the field. This could be valuable information and we are not saying that you shouldn't get as much data as possible, but keep in mind that there are many level of advice given on the web and the more education and experience that the telephone counselor has, naturally, the more reliable is the information and guidance.

In calling other web site, we have found that the above information is accurate, but there are also people who profess to be knowledgeable and educated, but we were able to discern that their data was inaccurate and it would be more truthful if they said that they were salesmen and not alcohol and drug rehab professionals. We Guarantee that you will be Speaking with a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Professional with education above a Master's Degree.
