Q Is there a difference in success rates between different treatment centers?
A There are many variables that make up a quality program. For one thing, check into staff qualifications. This means more than just looking for the letters after a name. Find out how long the staff have specifically worked with the substance abuse population. Also find out if the facility has at least an even split- half the staff are in recovery, and the other half have a long history of working in the chemical dependency field. This is important for a number of reasons. If you were to see a therapist for low self-esteem, you would be looking at going to therapy for at least 6 months. The first month is a getting to know each other- building rapport, and most importantly trust. A person going in for substance abuse treatment is going in for 30 days at most, and they will be dealing with more than just low self-esteem problems. With 30 days to work with, a counselor who is in recovery won't have to wait 3 or 4 weeks to establish rapport and trust. This happens almost immediately; hence, the therapy can start immediately. The statistics vary from place to place, but more important than what happens in treatment is what happens after treatment- that is what matters most. We will be discussing what recovery is and what it looks like in our next edition of the NICD News Magazine "ADASK" series.
Q Is there a difference between one halfway house and another?
A Yes. There can be a great difference. I suggest visiting different halfway houses before making the decision on which one to go to. The location may be important to an individual and/or family member; however, choosing location over quality is not a good procedure to follow. NOTE: NICD has written a set of rules that a quality run halfway house should have in place, (Click here to read our rules for a quality halfway house: http://www.nicd.us/hwhrules.html ).
Q Are there any web sites that can be visited to locate treatment centers and halfway houses?
