Choosing the best addiction treatment program for you or your loved one can be a challenging decision. Making the right choice has tremendous implications on the odds of sustaining recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. So what kinds of questions should you ask? “How to Select the Best Rehab Program” provides information on choosing a rehab program that offers effective, comprehensive care for the disease of addiction.
Knowing how to accurately assess patients for addictive disorders helps physicians and other clinicians provide the best treatment recommendations. Yet often, patients don’t volunteer information about their substance use problem, or they try to hide the extent of their substance use. And across specialties, most medical education programs don’t focus on how to look for less obvious signs of addiction. Our guide, “How to Effectively Assess Addicted Individuals,” includes case studies and a simple, three-question screening tool that can provide clinicians with important clues about whether a patient may need further evaluation for substance abuse.
