Welcome to the Chapman House website.  We are one of the leading alcohol and drug addiction treatment and recovery centers in the United States and we specialize in the treatment of dual diagnosis.  We realize that finding or selecting the right alcohol and drug rehab facility for your family member, friend, or loved one is a challenging task.  However, we also realize that the afflicted individual is faced with two greater challenges which prove to be the most difficult decisions they have ever made in their lives.

The first steps that the individual needs to take

The first and most difficult step for the addicted individual to take is the admission that a problem does exist and that they have either an alcohol or substance abuse problem.  This is never easy, no matter how much the addict realizes that they are destroying themselves and their lives.  Once they admit to having a problem, the next step is for them to seek out help so that they can be treated and recover successfully.  Herein lays the biggest challenge – finding the right treatment and recovery center to facilitate their needs.

How to select the right alcohol and drug rehab program

Considering the number of treatment and recovery facilities that are out there, you can well appreciate the difficulty involved in the selection and decision making process.  This can become confusing and extremely frustrating.  So how do you select the right alcohol or drug rehab program? Here are 4 suggestions for selecting the program that best facilitates your needs and helps you recover successfully from your (or the individual’s) addiction:

Get the advice of a medical professional – addiction medicine specialists can determine if a problem truly exists and then makes the proper treatment recommendations.  Look for an alcohol or drug rehab facility that features the treatment and recovery programs that the specialist has recommended.  The facility should offer any one of the following for types of treatment and recovery programs:

• Inpatient
• Outpatient
• Residential
• Short-Stay

Your budget needs to be considered – granted, some alcohol and drug addiction rehab facilities offer financing and some people’s health insurance includes some coverage for alcohol or drug addiction treatment programs.  However, you have to consider the fact that financing anything today is more challenging than ever before because it is now more difficult to be approved credit wise.  Additionally, health insurance coverage for alcohol and drug rehabilitation is rare with many insurance companies.  It comes down to what you can physically afford.

Check the credentials first – once you have assembled a list of 4 to 6 alcohol and drug rehab facilities, start investigating the credentials of each so you can compare them across the board.  First and foremost, make sure that the company has been licensed by your state and that they are accredited through such organizations as CARF and JCAHO.  Although these are not essential requirements, it speaks volumes for how well the drug rehab facility focuses on the addicted individual (CARF) and that they meet US quality and treatment standards (JCAHO).

Be patient and try to avoid frustration – this is the single most important piece of advice that we can offer you when you are conducting your search for the right alcohol and drug rehab center.  Just keep in mind that we have a lot to offer you or the addicted individual here at Chapman House and we are here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help you in any way we can and answer all of your questions.
