Seven Signs of a Good Treatment Center
http://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/drug-treatment-center.html
"Be wary of any treatment center that claims ?miraculous? success rates"
"Staffing at a Drug Treatment Center"
"The best program in the world will have no impact on clients if it is not delivered by capable clinical staff. When evaluating the abilities of a clinical team, look for:
Experience (specifically with alcohol and drug counselling) Education
Diversity (medical, mental health, and addiction expertise)
Supervision (Program Director, Clinical Supervisor, etc.)
Be aware of programs that employ recent graduates or individuals in early recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. A good rule of thumb is that staff should have a minimum of 10 years in their personal recovery before working in the field.
A good treatment center will staff counsellors with a strong educational background specific to addictions, current certification with a nationally recognized counselling association and a minimum of 5 years residential treatment counseling experience."
