Your life might feel like it’s spinning out of control right now, or maybe a loved one is struggling and you don’t know what to do. Whatever it is that has brought you here today, we’re here to help. Finding the best substance abuse treatment center is an important step in building the foundation for a lasting recovery.
We’ve been in business for over 20 years, and helped thousands of clients begin the process of rebuilding their lives. We’ve seen it all, and know what to look out for.
Here’s everything that you need to know to ensure you find the best drug or alcohol treatment center for your recovery.
Look for a Facility that Addresses Your Individual Needs
Each person is different, and has different treatment needs. To start, you should be evaluated by a physician. Together, you will develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs, specifically.
The best substance abuse treatment centers will also provide resources to address mental health issues, as well as education and activities that help you regain normalcy and structure in your day to day life.
We provide a dual diagnosis inpatient program. This is for clients who struggle with both substance abuse and one or more mental health disorders. Certified medical staff members work together to diagnose and treat mental health issues.
Ask About Prescription Medication
If you’re recovering from opioid addiction, for example, and want the option to take a medication to treat the dependency, make sure the treatment center provides that option. Some treatment centers do not prescribe medication as part of treatment.
At our facility, we offer medical detoxification. This stage is the beginning of the recovery process, and can last anywhere from 3-10 days. During this time, the client is overseen by experienced physicians and 24-hour nursing staff. After detoxification, the client then moves into a continued treatment program.
Look for Longevity
Unfortunately, not all drug rehabilitation centers have the clients’ best interests in mind. Look for a substance abuse treatment center that has been around for at least 5 years or more. The ones that have been open longer are still around because they do good work, and truly help people.
At Ridgeview, we have treated the disease of addiction for over 20 years. We have helped thousands of clients build the foundation for a better life. Our number one goal is to provide a platform for our clients to begin the process of improving their lives. We do this by creating an environment where individuals can focus on regaining their mental, physical and spiritual well-being.
Check the Reviews
Not all drug and alcohol treatment centers are created equal. Check the online reviews to see what other clients’ experiences were like. Then you can decide for yourself whether it’s a good fit for you.
Here are some of the review’s we’ve gotten here at Ridgeview Behavioral Hospital:
“The groups were very informative and interactive. They helped me understand why I made the life choices I had made prior to coming here. The therapists were amazing and so kind to me. Also, the nurses really helped me with my detox. I didn’t feel well and they always made me feel better with their conversation. I never thought drug treatment would be such an enjoyable process. In addition to the therapy and groups we were able to do all kinds of activities like bowling, BBQ, volleyball, and other activities that showed me I could have fun being sober. I just want to thank you for saving my life!”

“This place has a real feel of recovery. I was there for 37 days and it truly changed my life. The nurses are so caring and helped me so much during detox. My counselor really helped me figure out what led me to my substance abuse problems. The building is older but it didn’t even matter. The staff was so caring, more so than any other place I’ve ever been. If you really want to learn to stay sober this is the place to go. Thank you!”

“I went hear for a family education event this past weekend and was blown away by the care the staff showed. My loved one has been in a dark place for a long time and it was the first time I saw a promise of a better future for them. The counselor, who I believe is named Richard, did an amazing job at teaching myself and the other family members what our loved ones were going through. I thank you for giving my child his light again, his smile alone told me he is heading for a brighter future.”
