Deciding which drug or alcohol treatment facility to go to is a very important choice. Although they all have the same basic goal, no two are at all alike.

Finding the right treatment center is one of the most important elements of the affected person's success in recovery. And the process of finding the right treatment center can be confusing and difficult.

Here are some of the key elements to keep in mind.

1. Financial - if there is ANY type of health insurance, it should be checked and verified for alcohol rehab benefits. The benefit may or may not have an out of network component. If it does not have any out of network benefit, the person will have to go to a facility in the providers' network to use the benefit. If it does have an out of network benefit, the person can use some of or all of the benefit at a facility of their choosing.
   


2. Going away vs. staying close to home - there are pros and cons to both options. Staying close to home makes it east for family to attend family programs and visit. It also makes it easy for the person to walk out as no person is locked up in alcohol rehab. In general, going away is better.
   


3. Staff - the staff can make a big difference to the person's experience in alcohol rehab.
   


4. Special programs - some rehabs have special programs for things like depression, trauma, young adults, exercise, spirituality, etc.
   


5. Staff to patient ratio - in general the lower this number the better.
