Other important considerations
If this hasn't been made clear up to this point, you need to visit the teen drug rehab facilities that are on your short list before you make your decision.
All the photographs in the world, all the websites, might help you narrow your choices down, but in the end you need to be on site to make a final decision. And look at the facility the way your child might look at it too.
Some things to look for:
- Is the facility well maintained?
- Are there places for residents to go and remain active when the weather is bad?
- How do the meals look?
- How do the interactions between adults and teens seem? Observe the activities during an entire day, if you can.
- Are classrooms well stocked?
Summary
If you have to pick a teen drug rehab facility for your child, it will not be an easy choice for many reasons. You will need to spend some time doing it and educating yourself about drug abuse. But it is worth it because it will help your teen make a faster -- and longer lasting -- recovery.
