You’ve made the decision to change your life and begin recovery. Now the real work begins: sifting through the many complex options and providers to find a recovery center that will work for you. It’s not just a question of which programs will take your insurance and cost the least; this is a pivotal moment in your journey towards a better life, and you need to consider all the angles carefully.
Next Wind Recovery’s team members are pros at providing easily accessible treatment for recovery from substance use disorders, but we want you to be well informed even if you don’t choose us. Take some time to look over our breakdown of some of the more important factors to consider when looking into outpatient treatment programs. You need to find something that will fit well with your employment, lifestyle, and the type of challenge you will face during detox.
Will Treatment Work With Your Schedule?
Scheduling is key to your success at any recovery center. You will be in a delicate place emotionally, and you do not want to relapse because you missed too many therapy sessions or didn’t hear critical information from another client in group therapy that may have saved you. That means care providers can’t compromise on schedule. It has to work for you and your family. Before you do any further research, you need to make sure that the schedule won’t leave you without a chance to make every appointment the recovery center professionals have prescribed for you. This is basic housekeeping along with insurance coverage and distance from your job or home.
Matching Your Profile
The kind of center you choose will depend heavily on your specific story. Here are some key points to consider in your search:
- Inpatient or outpatient – This is a basic choice for all programs. Will you check in and stay at the facility full-time, or will it be an outpatient program that allows you to continue working and seeing family? If you want minimal disruption to your life and a lower cost, outpatient might be your best choice.
- Your particular substance(s) – There are chemical and biological differences between the way drugs will affect you during withdrawal. It is good to call the center and speak to one of their professionals about which drugs the center has experience with and whether your substance use challenges will be given excellent attention. This kind of information will also determine how long your program will be.
- Will you have the option of online sessions? – This may be important to you if COVID-19 shutdowns or other disruptions are a strong possibility.
- Philosophy – What are the guiding principles and practices of the recovery center? Do they appeal to you, or do they sound abstract? You want to choose a program with a unifying belief that ties their community together, such as Next Wind’s commitment to the core value of community support.
