Best is the word, which describes the conditions in the most supreme state. Anything described as the best has not comparative. It is supposed to be at the top. So, most of the people use this word with great care. But considering the meaning of this word can be very personal. Anything and everything which suits someone to the most can be referred as the best suited for that individual or any other living being. There could be a dress befitting a person the best, but may not give that perfect fit to someone else, here things are more subjective. This becomes more subjective when in search for the suitable rehab. Finding the best addiction treatment for revival is a very tedious process.

There are many criterions which need to be met before getting admitted into the rehab. There should be a valid certificate granted to the rehab by the government for carrying out necessary operations and treatment programs. The government should have approved the recovery programs and healing treatments. Approved drugs should be prescribed to the addicts and the facility should be well equipped with latest machines and instruments. This is also another criterion to choose a right rehab. The facility of the rehab should not be placed into the hustle bustle of the city, but it should be in a lap of nature, where the addicts are taken away from the stressful normal life to forget their addiction and embrace life anew. The most important factor is to feel at home, while being away from home! The set up and ambiance plays vital role in the de-addicting oneself, the closer to the nature, the more effective the treatment and easier the outcome is. The rehab should be able to provide world class support to its patients.

The professionals should have updated knowledge of the treatments and medicines available. Ability to chart out individualistic treatment plan and executing it effectively is very important for eliminating the addiction effectively. Most of the addiction cases are the cases of mental stress or trauma leading to addiction, this requires dual diagnosis treatment. Every individual needs different kind of treatment. Every person needs different degrees of medicines as their problems may vary from each other. The clinical practitioners should be in a position to mix up various treatments like psychological and medicinal treatments together for getting the right combination that works the best for the individual.

Question by trish m: “Recovery” Just looking for others opinions on “drug addiction”?
how many of you believe that 12 step programs work? and how many of you know someone who has given up everything that matters for their drug of choice? Just sincere answers please…
You have pointed out one of the main things that needs to be there “willingness” good job!
I’m an addict in recovery (5yrs) and I know each person is different. some just quit,others use AA/NA, and then some need a combo of the AA and therapy… One thing that all addicts lack is the ability to cope with life on life’s terms. If an addict doesn’t learn to cope then they tend to just switch addictions… from drugs to others i.e. eating, gambleing, workaholic, thank you guys for your answers and I’ll give this question till the end of the day..

Answer by debb_michele
I had gotten into drugs and alcohol for a while, and I’m only 15. The fact is I didn’t want to stop, no matter who said what I just didn’t. So I found out the hard way, that you cannot quite unless you really [[100%]] want to. It took someone special leaving me for me to quite. But I have alot of friends into drugs and they give up alot for drugs… I haven’t seen any of the therapy things working for them, because they didn’t want to quit. Hope that answers your question, just my opinion.
