Is a Private Addiction Rehab Right for Me?

If you’re seeking addiction treatment for yourself or a loved one, you’ve undoubtedly encountered several options. From outpatient clinics to private facilities, there are so many types of rehabilitation facilities that you might feel overwhelmed. The first choice you should make is whether a private addiction treatment centre or a conventional medical clinic is the best fit for you.

Private Rehab vs. Standard Medical Clinic

Addiction treatment is a growing industry, and it’s important you find a rehabilitation program that provides the quality of care you need. While both private rehab facilities and standard medical clinics help clients lay a foundation for sustained recovery, their primary difference lies in the personalization of services. Here are some distinctions between these two options.

Comprehensive Treatment

Most medical clinics specialize in one form of addiction treatment. Their program might be a 12-step-based approach or a medication-assisted treatment plan. Private rehab centres generally offer a wider range of addiction treatment services to meet our clients’ needs as they progress through each stage of recovery.

Personalized Care

Addiction clinics typically follow a standard treatment plan. While clinics may adjust treatment slightly based on your needs, these facilities don’t have the resources to deviate too far from their basic program. Private facilities deliver treatment plans tailored to your specific goals, ensuring a more client-focused approach to recovery.

Intentional Staff

Many standard addiction centres are understaffed and the treatment team struggles to keep up with the needs of their clients. Private facilities choose the most qualified personnel who are passionate about helping others. Private centres also have higher staff-to-client ratios, ensuring that guidance and support are always available.

Accreditation

Finding an accredited facility is a reliable way to determine if your substance addiction program will provide appropriate care. Accreditation is proof that a private facility provides quality treatment, commits to continual improvement, focuses on the needs of the individual and helps deliver optimal results.

Holistic Offerings

Most standard treatment facilities focus on the physical and sometimes psychological impact of addiction. However, private rehab centres have the resources to address the emotional, cognitive and spiritual aspects of each client’s life. This multidisciplinary approach helps you find healing in body, mind and spirit.

Comfort and Privacy

Another significant difference between medical clinics and private rehab is their facilities. Addiction clinics are often outpatient. If a medical clinic offers inpatient care, clients might share rooms and bathrooms. Private centres usually have private guest rooms with their own bathroom. This setup creates a comfortable environment where you have time for privacy, reflection and introspection.

Long-Term Rehab Treatment Options

Although some medical clinics offer longer-length programs, many do not. Once your treatment time comes to an end, clinics may not have ongoing support or relapse prevention services in place. Private facilities like GreeneStone offer long-term rehab treatment options, like Second-Stage Treatment, Aftercare or Alumni Programs.
