Three ways to make a mistake on choosing a treatment facility are:

1. Going for the short-term drug treatment The addiction did not develop overnight and resolving it will not be quick either. The addicted person has been using for years. The changes in lifestyle, the hiding and all the other aspects of being an addict are now more than just habit, some of them are now ‘hardwired’ into the person’s nervous system.

Spending money on a quick fix may be more attractive at the moment, but in the end is more often a waste of money and time. Look for a good long-term drug treatment facility.

2. Looking for a treatment facility in your neighborhood This is a common mistake and one that can be the difference between success and failure.

A change of environment during treatment has long been known to be an important part of successful drug detox rehab. The person recovering from drug dependence or addiction will do better in environments without constant reminders of their former problem. Until their strength returns, it is far better to keep away from as many “triggers” (people, places or situations that remind them of times they used drugs in the past) as possible.

While it may seem like a benefit to have regular visits from friends or family, it is actually more often a detriment to recovery until the addict regains more strength. For a while, it is best to put some distance between the recovering addict and all those memories and triggers.

3. Throwing more drugs at the problem The trouble in the first place was the person trying to solve their problems through the use of drugs. So now we’re going to “solve” this problem with more drugs?

Rather than treatment, merely switching drugs on an addict is just a surrender to the idea that addiction is incurable.

Although it is occasionally necessary to help the addicted person over the initial withdrawal period with medications under close medical supervision, drugs are never the treatment for addiction to drugs. To simply replace one addiction with another can only perpetuate the person’s dependence on drugs and never leads to a cure.
