How do I choose a treatment facility?
Choosing a facility may be daunting. So many places treating so many things – one may cover alcohol/drug treatment, depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, eating disorder, sleeping disorder, behavioral disorder and more. It's important to concentrate on the one that is killing you or your loved one. Then, it's down to price and place. You may pay thirty thousand dollars plus for 28-day stay. The place may be gorgeous, complete with a swimming pool, but the important thing is to look for a nice, safe place to get well – one that you can afford and that will leave you knowing they know about addiction and recovery and care about you or your loved one.

"I am 36 years old and have recovered from alcoholism and drug addiction. I am originally from Raleigh, North Carolina and graduated from college in 1993. During my college years, I drank and drugged alcoholically. Despite graduating a National Honor Society inductee, I also acquired two Driving While Intoxicated (DUI) charges. What seemed to be sufficient reason to stop my behavior only proved the beginning of a long ugly road."
"After graduation, my drinking and drugging increased immensely and by 1995 I had become a full-blown drug addict and alcoholic. I entered my first treatment center in 1995 and swore never to do it again. The years that followed brought with it countless vain attempts to prove that I could drink and drug like other people. These attempts always failed and landed me in jail, other treatment centers or overdosing."
"By the year 2006, I couldn’t stay sober longer than 15 months. I had been in eight or nine different treatment centers had done almost a year of jail time; received six DUI’s and lived on the streets. I’ve been shot through the back, totaled automobiles, lost expensive homes, all but wrecked my family, found myself on a financial roller-coaster and came close to taking my life on numerous occasions until arriving at the Bay Area Recovery Center on Sept 23, 2006."
