Benefits Of Going To A Private Drug Rehab Center

What are the Benefits of Going Private?

This is an important question that many patients have asked as well. We have established that oftentimes a private treatment center costs more than a public facility would, so why even go this way in the first place? Oftentimes public facilities have a much longer waiting list, if you go private, there may be a much shorter wait. There is nothing more frustrating than a person agreeing to seek treatment for addiction, only to find that there is no place for them anywhere. 

Scientific evidence shows that if a patient has to stay on a waiting list for a long period of time, they are less likely to enter a facility in the end.

There are several reasons for that, including continued drug use while waiting, or the person having a "now or never" attitude when they seek help. Many people seeking help will remain on waiting lists well over a month, though most will not remain interested in entering a program for more than two weeks. Because of the shorter wait, it means the person receives the help they need before they have a chance to change their mind or come up with excuses.

Another benefit is that these types of treatment centers often have more funds available. This means that their medical professionals and staff have higher salaries (meaning that patients receive the best treatment in the field) and that these centers have many extras.

A final benefit to look at is the privacy factor. This means residents have focused treatment services, anonymity, and seclusion. They have this and still have a qualified staff of professionals who use proven methods of addiction management. Privacy is not just important for high-level executives or celebrities, 'regular' people may not want their friends, coworkers, or family to know that they are seeking help for addiction.

You can expect to benefit in many different ways:

• You will enjoy individualized attention from the counselors and staff (they are not overworked).

• You will enjoy privacy to deal with your own outlook and healing.

• You will enjoy more information about holistic attributes, aspects such as exercise and diet.

• You will enjoy better and extensive follow-up care once you leave.

Of course, follow-up care is a vital component of any program because it would be quite difficult to go through periods of doubt alone. Scientific evidence confirms that relapse is much less likely if a patient has a solid aftercare program. Oftentimes there is better and more access to aftercare with one of these programs than with a public health provider.
