Is Insurance Accepted?
You should ask how much a rehab will cost, and whether they take your insurance.

Knowing what the average length of time that individuals stay at that rehab center gives you an idea of the programing and if it fits your needs.
What Kind of Amenities Are Offered?
While youâre at drug rehab to get sober, it doesnât mean you donât necessarily want some extras. Knowing if thereâs a workout facility or a swimming pool may not make a difference to your recovery, but it may give you the opportunity to enjoy your hobbies while in treatment.
Are There Detox Facilities?
Depending on the drugs youâre taking and the severity of your use, you may need detox before entering the treatment aspect of a drug rehab. Knowing if the facility youâre looking at offers detox can make a difference if itâs the right treatment center for you.
What Kind of Accreditation Does the Facility Have?
Drug rehabs, like other health and mental health facilities, get approval from certain accreditation organizations. Look for names like the Joint Commission or the National Committee for Quality Assurance before deciding where to go for drug treatment.
What Are the Staffâs Credentials?
Different rehab centers have different requirements for their counseling staff. Some require licensed therapists while others may accept counselors with just a bachelorâs degree. While either option is fine, itâs important to know what the credentials of the staff are before deciding on which addiction treatment center is right for you.
