Consult Your Primary Care Physician
You can begin your drug and alcohol rehab journey by talking to your doctor. Sometimes a person’s doctor is the first point of contact in finding possible treatment options. Your doctor can advise you about substance abuse treatment centers near you and what treatment would benefit you.
In some instances, you may need a referral to go into a rehab treatment facility. If so, your doctor can provide one.
If you don’t have a personal doctor, don’t worry. You can find the right drug and alcohol rehab without a primary care physician.

Determine What Type of Treatment Program is Best for You
Several types of treatment programs are available at a drug and alcohol rehab. Before starting a program, you can consult a case management advisor to see which treatment level is right for you. Some of the rehab treatment programs are as follows:
Detoxification: This program helps you with the first step of withdrawal. During detox, your body rids itself of the substance you are taking. Medical professionals will provide medication to aid in the process.
Inpatient rehab: During an inpatient program, you will stay in a residential setting for a length of time that is agreed upon. Some people stay for one week, while others remain for one year. Most people stay somewhere in the middle. You will be monitored when you’re there and participate in therapy.
Partial hospitalization program (PHP): A PHP is a step down from an inpatient program. It provides similar support throughout the day, but you will return to your home in the evening.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP): IOP is an intense level of outpatient therapy that consists of several hours a day of therapeutic care.
Outpatient program: You are probably familiar with an outpatient rehab program. It involves participating in therapy sessions weekly.
People just starting a rehab program will likely want to begin with a detox or inpatient rehab program. Often, you can do a detox program during inpatient rehab. The inpatient treatment program gives you the highest level of care, 24/7 supervision, and monitoring of your vital signs. This ensures you go through the withdrawal process safely.
Once you complete an inpatient program, you may want to transition to a PHP, which gives you limited independence. Some people feel ready for IOP, which is more independent. This may be a good option, especially if you've participated in a more extended inpatient rehab.

Verify Your Insurance Benefits
If you contact the drug and alcohol rehab you want to go to, they will verify your insurance benefits. You can sometimes do this online by filling in your information or calling the number you see on the website.
When you contact the drug and alcohol rehab, you’ll be asked to provide your insurance information, and someone will verify whether your benefits are in-network with the facility. If so, you can move ahead with admissions.
Signs You’ve Found a Good Drug and Alcohol Rehab
You may want to be sure that you’ve found a good drug and alcohol rehab to receive the appropriate care. The following signs indicate that the rehab facility is reputable:
Provide Evidence-Based Therapies
Behavioral therapies are evidence-based and commonly used in a rehab setting. These therapies have been shown to bring patients results.
Certified Facility
Check with the rehab facility to see what credentials and certifications they have. Most drug and alcohol rehabs require some form of license to operate, but the licenses and requirements vary depending on what services they offer.
Offer a Continuum of Care
If the rehab facility supports a continuum of care, you can obtain all the substance abuse services you need from one facility. This can make the journey much smoother since you’ll know the therapists and other staff. You’ll have built relationships with the care providers; they will understand your situation and can nurture you every step of the way.
Caring and Compassionate Staff
The last thing to look for when seeking the right drug and alcohol rehab is a caring and compassionate staff. From the first phone call to the in-person evaluation, you need to feel that they care about your needs. That warmth and human connection can be a vital part of recovery.
