12 Questions to Ask When Choosing a Rehabilitation Hospital

What Makes a Rehabilitation Hospital Better Than Others?

Before you go register a loved one in a rehabilitation hospital, check out the following aspects:

1. What type of rooms do they have? Are the rooms comfortable? Check the quality of the room closely, the number of patients per room, etc.
2. How do they treat withdrawal symptoms? Do they have any natural treatments to combat the pain and difficulties arising from the withdrawal symptoms?
3. What is the ratio of medical personnel to patients? What is the ratio between counseling professionals and patients?
4. Are there facilities to diagnose and treat diseases such as hepatitis, TB, HIV, and so on? Can the treatment be integrated into the detoxification program?
5. Does the program have a time line for treatment?
6. What are the statistics of the cures and relapses from the particular rehabilitation hospital? Is that figure comparable to other leading rehabilitation hospitals?
7. Do they involve families in the rehabilitation program? If yes, do the family members get sufficient counseling to know how to behave and react to certain trigger aspects of the drug addiction?
8. What are the total charges of the rehabilitation program? Are there other charges besides the fees quoted in the initial contract? What does the fees/price include?
9. How do they assess whether the patient is ready for normal life? How many evaluators will work on this aspect?
10. Do they extend residential treatment if found necessary once the patient has checked out from the premises?
11. Do they have the capacity of customizing the detoxification program in view of the background of the patient (gender, past drug problems, culture, race, sexual orientation, sexual abuse, etc?)
12. Do they continuously evaluate the progress of the patient, or keep that for the final evaluation only?

These are some of the most important criteria, which will help you assess whether the rehabilitation hospital is the right one for your friend or family member. In short, you should look at whether it can deliver what it promises and this short questionnaire can help you find that out.
