Does Location of Rehab Program Matter?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Depending on who you ask, you can get completely different answers from treatment centers on whethor or not it’s good to stay close to home or far away for rehab.  The reason for this is because usually each facility is trying to sell you their service – so if you’re close by they’ll tell you it’s convenient, and if it’s far away they’ll tell you that it is better to leave the state, etc.

So who can you believe when it comes to finding the right drug rehab program?

Truthfully, our experience is that both answers are correct for certain situations.  The emphasis shouldn’t be placed on location – but instead the type of addiction treatment provided and the facility.  If there happens to be one fairly close by, then great.  However, is it true that being right down the road makes it easier for someone to leave?

In some cases it IS important to be far away or in a secluded location, but the ideal scenario is just to have a long-term, distraction-free environment for rehabilitation so the individual can focus on putting their substance abuse in the past for good.
