There are many treatment options to consider when you’re selecting a substance abuse treatment program.
At the very least, you will need to carefully think about your preferred level of care, the treatment modalities you’re interested in, and whether you will opt for state-funded or private care.
While there are many benefits to state-funded addiction treatment, many people find that private rehab facilities like Bedrock Recovery Center are better able to meet their individual needs.
These are some of the key benefits of private rehab programs that you may consider when choosing where to start your addiction recovery.
Individualized And Customizable Treatment
Private drug and alcohol rehab centers offer individualized and customizable treatment because our expert staff recognize that no singular treatment plan is appropriate for everyone.
To ensure that each client receives the best combination of therapy sessions, mental health treatment, and other interventions, staff perform thorough assessments.
Assessments at intake are used to evaluate the person’s substance use history, co-occurring mental health disorders, and past treatment experience to establish an initial treatment plan.
Further assessments help to tweak that plan until our clinical staff are satisfied that the client is receiving the best possible care from their drug or alcohol abuse.
More Private Accommodations And Confidentiality
If you are looking for a rehabilitation program with more privacy, private treatment centers often offer private rooms; however, this may depend on availability.
Private rehabilitation programs are also able to offer additional confidentiality protections to people who may want to keep their need for addiction treatment private in order to protect their employment or status.
While all addiction treatment facilities are bound by HIPAA to protect the privacy of their clients, private treatment centers often offer transportation services and other features to protect your anonymity.
High-Quality Amenities To Improve Comfort
While each private rehab facility is different, many offer an array of amenities that public facilities don’t offer due to limited funds.
Private substance use disorder treatment amenities may include:
- private rooms
- maid service
- swimming pools
- fitness programs
- 24/7 security
- nutritional counseling
- art therapy and music therapy
- massage
- private gym and private trainers
- hiking and other outdoor adventures
These high-quality amenities are designed to provide extra comfort to individuals during the recovery process.
More Staff To Provide Individual Attention
Unlike state-funded public facilities, private drug addiction treatment centers get their funding from private sources, including admission fees.
As a result, private centers have more financial resources, allowing them to provide a wider variety of treatment options and a lower client-to-staff ratio.
Having fewer clients per staff member gives our staff more time with each person. More individualized attention often leads to better treatment outcomes and reduced relapse rates.
A Variety Of Evidence-Based Psychotherapies
Private rehab centers offer a variety of evidence-based behavioral therapies for effectively treating drug abuse or alcohol addiction.
Access to private funds and specialized clinical staff increases the variety of treatment modalities that private treatment facilities can offer to their clients.
While a state-funded program may be able to offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and support groups, private facilities offer much more.
For example, Bedrock Recovery Center provides:
- medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
- group therapy and process group therapy
- psychoeducation and family psychoeducation
- cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- community reinforcement approach (CRA)
- motivational interviewing (MI)
- specialized groups for LGBTQ+ clients and first responders
- Refuge Recovery
- SMART Recovery
- Celebrate Recovery
- 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
- eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- Seeking Safety
- touch therapy
- cognitive processing therapy
- additional therapy sessions for adolescent clients
This variety of treatment options allows private treatment facilities like Bedrock create a fully customized treatment plan.
Wellness Programs To Bolster The Effects Of Treatment
Wellness programs for addiction recovery offer patients the opportunity to participate in rewarding activities instead of using drugs or alcohol.
Private centers’ wellness programs are well-funded and may include exercise therapy such as yoga, art therapy, a nutritional wellness focus, etc.
These wellness programs aim to increase self-awareness and the ability to self-regulate, which can promote long-term recovery.
Wellness programs also enhance self-efficacy and teach coping skills to manage addiction triggers, which helps clients handle challenges after treatment.
Family Therapy And Familial Involvement
Studies have shown that involving the family as a support system in addiction treatment increases treatment adherence and results in better outcomes.
Family therapy has also been shown to be more effective than other evidence-based treatments in treating substance use disorders.
Private treatment centers often involve the family through various forms of family therapy, including psychoeducation and counseling sessions, and involve them in setting up aftercare.
Aftercare And Alumni Programs
Private rehabilitation centers will either offer referrals to a variety of aftercare options or will provide transitional planning to ensure that aftercare is secured before the client leaves.
Aftercare often features therapy, participation in support groups, and alumni programs, which act as long-term support networks with opportunities for networking and social interaction.
