Sacramento and Phoenix Area Drug Rehab Centers for Teens and Young Adults

Phoenix Drug Rehab Center

How do I choose the right drug and substance abuse rehab center for my child?

This is a family decision, but the young person should be the major influence in choosing an alcohol and drug rehab program. If a young person enters a substance abuse rehab center, or drug rehab center with some ownership over the decision, his or her likelihood of success is better.

It is best if the drug rehab center offers programs that your child can relate to. Even if you take him or her to five rehab programs to check them out, and you decide all five are acceptable, let your son or daughter choose the rehabilitation center he or she wants to go to. Make sure it’s a treatment facility that specializes in your child’s age group. Be wary of having young people lumped in with adults in the rehab center, because their social and emotional needs are different.

Ask if any staff members of the rehabilitation treatment center are in recovery themselves. Is there someone your child can relate to? Ask many questions about the rehab program, and, above all, trust your intuition.
