How to find the best addiction rehab?
No one relishes the thought of finding a rehabilitation center. In terms of least desirable shopping experiences, selecting a rehabilitation center ranks with funeral homes and hospices. The key difference, though, is to view your search now not as an end, but as a chance for a new beginning. As you look for guidance within your own support network, such as a priest, minister, physician, counselor and so on, use this Guide as an extra resource to remove the unknowns and assist you in making an informed decision. Hawaii Island Recovery can help. Please give us a call at 866-515-5032 for a private consultation. © All Rights Reserved - Hawaii Island Recovery, L.L.C.

What is Drug Abuse and Addiction?
When addiction strikes it is not simply a matter of moral weakness. Nor is it a case of finding an addict’s willpower to stop their substance abuse. Drug addiction is a complex disease that impacts the brain and cannot be treated by sheer willpower.
Addiction occurs when people get too reliant on substances that give them temporary pleasure, such as drugs and alcohol. Through continued use, the substances interfere with the complex system of neurons in the brain, disrupting the natural chemical composition that communicates with neurotransmitters. This, in turn, dictates how a person’s body reacts to the various stimuli coming from their environment.
How to Find the Right Addiction Rehabilitation Center?
In order to achieve full addiction recovery, our clients need a well-rounded package of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. This is most effective when an addict relocates to a healing sanctuary where they can focus on all aspects of their treatment. An environment like this removes all distractions of their personal, professional and everyday life.
The residential center should offer luxury amenities, the ultimate comfort and the serenity to give them a better appreciation of the benefits of sober living.
It is also important to scrutinize the programs offered by a addiction treatment center. Treatment programs need to incorporate the latest advancements in research for maximum effectiveness and to eliminate outdated methods.
The rehabilitation facility should have post-recovery efforts to ensure the complete recovery of clients. Ask to see testimonials from former residents and see for yourself how they fared with the addiction treatment program.
Finding the right addiction treatment facility can be a task in itself. The U.S. government has a directory that lists more than 11,000 addiction treatment programs and hospital inpatient programs for drug and alcohol addiction. That list is constantly changing as new facilities open and others close down.
How do you go about searching through those thousands of centers to find the one that is best for you and your unique circumstances?

Program Related Qestions
Shopping around for the best addiction recovery treatment available within your budget is an enormous undertaking. It requires a significant amount of research, reference-checking and interviewing on your part. To do it correctly, it is extremely helpful to be armed with the right questions to ask.
Program-related Questions:
• Are there programs that aim to physically and emotionally fit an individual client?
• Is there a balanced program of individual and group therapy, lecture, educational sessions, support groups, healthy recreational activities, and community involvement?
• Does the program encompass the full range of needs of the individual including medical, psychological: including co-occurring mental illness; social; vocational; legal; etc.?
• Does the treatment program also address sexual orientation and physical disabilities as well as provide age, gender and culturally-appropriate treatment services?
• Will they provide a weekly schedule?
• Does the program employ strategies to engage and keep individuals in longer-term treatment, increasing the likelihood of success?
• Does the program offer family counseling and other behavioral therapies to enhance the individual’s ability to function in their community?
• Does the program offer medication as part of the treatment regimen, if appropriate?
• Are there frequent medical and psychological assessments performed by professionals?
• Do they perform random drug tests and what is their policy if someone tests positive?
Is a Residential Facility Preferred over Outpatient?
Effective drug rehabilitation can be achieved through both residential and outpatient treatment. This depends, of course, on the severity of a client’s condition. Up to 90 percent of addicts each year attend outpatient counseling and meetings, but longer residential rehab programs usually yield better results.
Though outpatient treatment is successful for less severe cases, a longer term of more than 30 days is recommended to address all biophysical and emotional aspects of the clients’ addiction and reduce relapse possibilities.
Addiction Treatment and Dual Diagnosis
To ensure total recovery, a client must achieve a level of healing that encompasses the body, mind, and spirit. The treatment needs to address their physical and mental rehabilitation, as well as their emotional stability, so that they may be able to resume a normal life.
Dual Diagnosis treatment looks beyond the addiction itself and treats for other mental conditions that may coexist with a person’s addiction problem, such as depression and anxiety. Effective Dual Diagnosis therapy focuses on the treatment of the clients’ emotional and mental issues. The therapy targets the whole person rather than the addiction or the mental disorder which most programs treat separately.
Post-Rehabilitation and Ongoing Support Questions
• Does the facility offer any sort of guarantee?
• Is long-term aftercare support and/or guidance encouraged, provided and maintained?
• Is there ongoing monitoring of possible relapse to help increase the clients success rate?
