All You Need to Know When it Comes to Finding Effective Drug Rehab
Mark Twain once said something to the effect that he could judge a book by reading its first 3 pages and its last 3 pages. If it didn’t have a good beginning and a good ending, it wasn’t worth reading.
I thought about Twain’s comment when I read a release today from one of those fictional newswire services with a name as pretentious and transparent as Transnational Affilated Newswire. It announced the release of a new program to monitor patients who had finished their drug rehab program at a high priced California center which is quite proud of its luxury appointments and seaside setting.
So now they’re working on the last 3 pages, I thought. Nothing wrong with that. I think it’s the least you can do for patients who paid you 50 or 60 thousand dollars for a relatively short stay and who statistically speaking are likely to relapse and once again become addicted.
And here’s the point. This sudden interest in aftercare is a certain recognition that many of their patients in fact relapse. That no matter how good the story begins, for far too many it ends sadly. To be fair, this is the case with most drug rehab in Georgia as well.
But our job is not to be fair to any particular drug treatment center but rather to find one which offers you or your loved one the greatest chance of beating addiction for good. So if I can alter the old adage a bit: don’t judge a book by its cover nor by its first 3 pages. It’s the ending that counts.
Ignore the lushly landscaped grounds, ignore the richly decorated rooms, ignore the breathtaking view of the Pacific ocean which lies below your cliffside clinic, what should matter to you is just this: do they get results? What does the end of the story read like? Is it a happy ending for most or is it not?
Before you or your loved one enters a drug rehab program, you need to find out how many of their patients beat drug addiction or alternatively how many relapse. The top program we refer Clients to boasts nearly an 80% success rate, which means two years after completing the program their patients are still drug free. I don’t know of any other program that comes close to this success rate, no matter the price, or no matter how the cover looks.
