Meth rehab, what is a good rehab facility that does not cost too much?!


Question: Meth rehab, what is a good rehab facility that does not cost too much.?
My son has a meth addition, has had it for 7 years. I want to put him in a treatment center but I don't know which one. I looked at Narconon but I am afraid of it. It sounds too harsh on an already abused body. Does anyone know it it works or can suggest another one.Health Question & Answer

Over 90% of rehabs are 12step based (AA/NA). The rest are almost all Narconon or heavy religious.

(Almost all of these can be used for other addictions, and note how far down the list Alcoholics Anonymous and Twelve-step facilitation are.)

About 3/4 of people with meth addictions also have underlying mental health issues, perhaps your best bet would be to check with your local NAMI and see what is available in your area:

Many mental health facilities offer dual diagnosis treatment. Motivational Interviewing or Cognitive Therapy have better success rates than traditional treatment for addictions of all types.

I would talk to a counselor in your area. Is there a hospital in your area with a psych floor.? If so you should definitely get in touch with the doctor in that department and find out his opinion, or even speak to one of the nurses on the floor about the issue. You could even call your local hospital and ask to be transfered to someone who might be able to help you with the matter. This is a very serious matter and as a nurse I just don't think you should rely on an answer that someone gives you on yahoo, but to speak with a healthcare professional. If you would like for me to give you the number to a healthcare facility in my area that may be able to answer your questions, I can.Health Question & Answer
