Seeking help for addiction requires courage and is the first step toward recovery. Residential treatment programs enable patients to manage their addiction or substance abuse disorder. The key is finding the right treatment program for each individual. There are a number of things to keep in mind as you look into treatment at Ethan Crossing Recovery, whether for yourself or a loved one.

Consider What Services You Need in Residential Treatment
The first step is to consider what substance abuse treatment services you or your loved one may need. A physician or substance abuse disorder medical professional may be able to provide guidance. Some patients can recover without inpatient treatment, while others require the round-the-clock supervision offered in a residential treatment center.
Treatment typically isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. The most successful rehab centers will tailor a treatment plan based on individual needs that could include:
- Medically supervised withdrawal (detox)
- Various therapies types
- Treatment for mental health disorders that underly the addiction
Inpatient treatment programs can also treat the whole person through programs to help with nutrition, vocations, or spirituality. Consider the range and types of therapies the residential rehab center offers. Also, ask whether a team of specialists, such as a doctor, therapist, addiction specialist, and social worker, will provide coordinated care. Ask questions about each person’s professional credentials on the team, including degrees, certifications, and the number of years in the profession.
Medicines are available to help treat addictions to nicotine, alcohol, and opioids. Some patients require these FDA-approved medicines to ease withdrawal symptoms or to wean themselves from opioid abuse. Not every addiction treatment center offers these options, however. If you or a loved one wants this option, you’ll choose one that does.
Finally, consider whether you or your loved one would benefit from gender-specific substance abuse treatment. Gender differences play a role in patterns of drug use and dependence. In many cases, patients benefit from a men’s rehab program or a women’s rehab program because it allows for discussion of these issues. Women who have been abused, in particular, may have difficulty healing in coed programs.
Find an Addiction Treatment Center with a Supportive Environment
Cost doesn’t necessarily correlate with quality. Some luxury centers are located in attractive locations with posh surroundings, such as 800-thread-count bedsheets, pools, and spas. In some cases, the fees they charge fund the surroundings, while clinical care is lacking. Many moderate-priced facilities provide excellent clinical care while still providing recreational opportunities such as game rooms, gyms, or yoga. If budget constraints are an issue, look for a residential treatment center that accepts your insurance and will work with you to pay the balance.
Longevity also can provide a clue as to the quality of care a residential rehab center provides. Those that have been in business for at least five years generally survived because they are effective.
Also, consider whether traveling to rehab is an advantage for you. For some patients, a change of location better helps them see themselves as beginning a recovery journey. For others, finding a residential rehab center close to home is important to allow the family to be more actively involved in their care and can increase their chances of success.
