Admission To Rehab

When you are considering treatment for either alcohol or drug addiction, there may be plenty of feelings and thoughts involved. You would normally start by researching the different rehab centers available near you. Before you can begin treatment, you must first need to be admitted.

Pre-Intake Screening

The admissions staff will need information that relates to your drug or alcohol abuse. Prepare answers to questions surrounding:

  • Types of drugs abused
  • Patient’s drug history
  • Patient’s treatment history
  • Length of abuse
  • Employment conditions
  • Underlying mental disorders
  • Legal issues
  • Family life
  • Family history
  • Medical issues
  • Psychiatric care
  • History of trauma or abuse
  • Current medications

Financial Options

Discuss with the admissions staff regarding the available financial options. Learn more about the center’s insurance policies and run a check with your own insurer to determine if you have enough coverage. Other questions that you can ask include:

  • What will your deductible be?
  • What are the general costs of rehab?
  • What if you cannot afford rehab?
  • Are scholarships available?
  • Will my credit score be impacted?
  • What is the recommended level of care needed during recovery?

Professional addiction treatment centers work closely with patients before admission to ensure that they have fully understood their situation. If you need any help with seeking addiction treatment for a loved one, feel free to contact Spark To Recovery today.
