Most of us don't know what to look for in a quality program. Not all treatment centers are the same–they differ greatly in program options, staff qualifications, credentials, cost, and effectiveness.
You need to ask appropriate questions when you call a treatment center for information, and you should expect to receive clear answers.
Before you make any decisions–ask questions and get the facts!
Alcohol and drug addiction is a disease that progresses through predictable stages. It takes a trained health professional, often a doctor specializing in addiction medicine, to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the most appropriate treatment.
Ideally, a provider will offer a range of services to treat a patient throughout their recovery process. The more levels of care offered, the more comprehensive and individualized treatment you will receive, This includes:
The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is the gold-standard in addiction treatment certifications. Look for the gold seal on websites or simply ask when you call: are you CARF accredited?
There is also the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO), formerly known as ACCBO) and the Joint Commission for healthcare organization certification.
In addition to being certified and licensed, a treatment provider should be able to provide care services developed and managed by medical professionals. Serenity Lane's Director of Medical Services, Dr. Geisler, leads a team of physicians, a psychiatrist, nurses and medical specialists who provide services like medically-supported detox, medication-assisted treatment, incoming patient medical workups, medication adjustments and overall care planning. Dr. Geisler is board certified in addiction medicine and was instrumental in the development and management of our medication-assisted treatment program for opioid-use disorders.
There is an advantage to including on-site medical care in a treatment program. Physicians and nurses provide 24-hour treatment services to monitor and ensure a safe withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs. In addition, a medical staff specializing in addiction medicine can oversee the progress of each individual and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
The price tag for treatment services can be presented in many different formats. You need to know what is included in the price, what will be added on to your bill as a fee-for-service program, and what services your health insurance may cover. This makes it extremely difficult to compare prices by simply asking the question – "What does it cost?"
Very often treatment centers will only state the price for their residential program which can surprise you if additional medical and/or detoxification services are needed. Be sure to compare "apples to apples" or residential to residential when you make your decision. Will the treatment center send you a printed, itemized price list for your consideration?
The provider should be able to offer the best service plan based on access to benefits and offer additional discounts for up-front payments or provide payment plan options for out-of-pocket costs.
The disease of addiction affects the entire family, not just the alcoholic/addict. Quite often family members do not realize how deeply they have been affected by chemical dependency. Family involvement is an important component of recovery.
Treatment centers vary in the degree and quality of family involvement opportunities. Some offer just a few lectures and others offer family therapy. Ask how many hours are devoted to family programs and if group therapy is included.
You should know if a family program is included in the quoted price, or if this constitutes an additional fee-for-service.
Serenity Lane offers individualized, effective, and innovative solutions for your clients, neighbors, colleagues, friends, acquaintances, and family members struggling with opioid dependency, and any other addiction.
