Mental health and addiction often go hand in hand. Many individuals struggling with substance use also face co-occurring disorders such as depression or anxiety. That’s why choosing the right mental health rehab is a huge step toward recovery. A quality rehab facility can provide a foundation for lasting healing through personalized mental health treatment and comprehensive addiction treatment.
Here are nine important questions to ask when selecting a mental health rehab.
- What mental health conditions do you treat?
Not all rehabs are equipped to treat every condition. Ask whether they specialize in the specific issues you’re dealing with, whether it’s trauma, anxiety, depression, or a dual diagnosis involving substance use.
- What kind of evidence-based therapies are offered?
The most effective mental health rehabs use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. These approaches are backed by research and proven to work. Make sure the facility you choose offers them.
- Is the staff accredited and experienced?
You want to be in the hands of professionals who are licensed, experienced, and compassionate. At Impact Wellness Network, our staff are fully accredited and trained to handle complex mental health and substance use disorders with care and professionalism.
- Is the facility licensed and accredited?
Accreditation matters. It’s a sign that the rehab meets strict standards for care and ethics. All Impact Wellness Network locations are fully licensed and accredited, giving you peace of mind when receiving treatment.
- What’s the cost, and is insurance accepted?
Mental health treatment is an investment, but it should also be accessible. Ask for a breakdown of costs and find out whether your insurance covers any or all of it. Many facilities will help you verify coverage before admission.
- Are personalized treatment plans available?
Every person’s mental health journey is different. Tailored plans lead to better outcomes, so find out if the facility creates customized treatment plans based on individual assessments.
- What levels of care are offered?
Rehabs should offer varying levels of care depending on your needs, for instance, inpatient, outpatient, or partial hospitalization programs. This ensures you get the right support at the right time.
- What’s the rehab’s success rate?
While no program can guarantee 100% recovery, reputable mental health rehabs should be transparent about their success rates and how they define success.
- What kind of aftercare support is available?
Recovery doesn’t end when you leave the facility. Look for programs that include relapse prevention planning, alumni groups, or referrals for continued therapy. Strong aftercare can make all the difference.
