Private Rooms in Rehab
Some treatment centers provide private bedrooms so clients can have privacy and personal space. Private rooms benefit those needing solitude and fewer distractions for self-reflection throughout the recovery journey. Private rooms are especially important for high-level executives undergoing treatment, as they may need a quiet space (and likely a desk) to attend to some work responsibilities.
Private rooms are typically more expensive than a shared room. Additionally, a private room doesn’t offer peer support and socialization, which can benefit many patients. Connecting with others in treatment can increase the recovery success rate. If a private room still seems like a good fit for your situation, there are other ways to get peer support, such as attending 12-Step meetings and group therapy.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Private Room in Rehab
If you’re curious about staying in a private room at a treatment center, reflect on questions such as
- Can I realistically afford to pay more for a private room?
- What are 3 ways a private room can benefit my recovery experience? What are 3 ways it may worsen my experience?
- Will I need access to my phone and laptop for work responsibilities?
- At home, am I usually surrounded by loved ones? Would having that same support in a shared room benefit my recovery?
- Do I tend to need alone time or socializing to recharge?
- Would I like to connect with peers on a deeper level? If I’m in a private room, what other ways can I connect with peers?
