When people suffer from addiction, visiting a rehab center is the best chance that they have for recovery. With so many facilities out there, though, how do they find the best rehab center in Portland? Below are a few things that they need to look for during their search for treatment.
The Best Rehab Centers Have Friendly and Caring Staff
If there’s one thing that all the best rehab centers have, it’s friendly, caring, and knowledgeable staff. After all, a rehab center is only as good as its staff.
No matter how good a program may be in theory, if there isn’t an excellent team in place to effectively deliver it to patients, the benefit to you is compromised. Considering all of the problems that addiction brings to your door, you want to have confidence about the addiction treatment program you choose.
What qualities make staff members great? When it comes to drug rehab, facilities need doctors, nurses, therapists, and administrative workers who go the extra mile. They need to care about their clients and their well-being.
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to tell when drug rehab centers have caring team members. After all, anyone can say that they care, but where’s the proof to back up that claim? Thankfully, prospective patients can look up past client reviews to get a better inside look at this matter. A careful examination of reviews should show a pattern of excellence for the addiction treatment center you’re considering.
Custom Treatment Plans
Everyone is different, so everyone needs different treatment plans. A cookie-cutter or “one-size-fits-all” treatment plan doesn’t work. In fact, there’s no universal addiction recovery plan that works for every person. Each patient has unique needs, and they must be factored into the treatment plan if it is to be successful. For instance, some people need extended care, while others do better with more flexible outpatient programs.
The best rehab centers create custom plans for each of their clients. They focus on individual needs and don’t treat patients like numbers rather than people. Once the plans are in place, the staff members go about fulfilling them. If the clients’ needs change during treatment (and that can happen), so does the treatment plan.
Holistic Treatment
It’s common for drug rehab centers to offer evidence-based treatment, which you should always be looking for in a treatment plan. In fact, it’s the cornerstone of addiction rehab. However, the top rehabs offer more a more well-rounded approach by implementing holistic treatment as well.
This approach to care focuses on recovery methods that reduce stress and anxiety. Studies show that reducing stress helps people recover faster. Some examples of holistic treatment include:
- Yoga
- Acupuncture
- Outdoor therapy
- Meditation
- Art and music therapy
- Exercise
Keep in mind, however, that rehab centers need to offer a mix of evidence-based and holistic treatment. To get the most out of addiction help, people need a full spectrum of services that complement each other. The things that they learn from holistic treatment can enhance their progress in normal therapy and help them avoid relapse.
