What is my health like? Do I need special health related services?
First and foremost, you want to make sure that your rehabilitation from addiction is a safe rehabilitation which means you’ve got to make sure that you choose rehab services that are relevant to your overall health. Addiction is devastating to the human body and can have a lasting impact on your health. Depending on the type of drugs you have used as well as the length of time you have been a drug user, you may have various health needs.
