Best Rehabs for Prescription Drug Addiction in North America

Canada and the United States are two of the most affluent countries in the world, and they make up the entirety of North America. When it comes to luxury rehab centers, then, there’s no shortfall on choice. From Florida to California to British Columbia, North America offers treatment that suits everyone.

Many North American addictions come from prescription drugs, and alcohol alongside increasingly (and unfortunately) more common conditions including depression and co-dependency. But today’s rehabilitation treatment is highly advanced, and whether you’re looking to escape the city and undergo treatment in the mountains, at the beach or in the desert, many centers serve up similarly high-quality, expert and bespoke treatment options. See our range of facilities below for more.

What does continuing care after rehab include?

Continuing care, or aftercare, consists of continuing therapy in a less intensive way to help you transition into life after treatment. This might include sober living, outpatient treatment, counseling, support groups (12-Step or otherwise), alumni events, and more.

What are some common treatment approaches used in rehab?

Rehabs use a variety of treatment approaches, and often incorporate multiple modalities to create a well-rounded program. Following are some examples.

• 12-Step
• Non-12-Step
• Holistic
• Evidence-based
• Systemic
• Faith-based
• Therapeutic community

What should I pack for rehab?

Packing for rehab depends on a few things: location, climate, culture. This means you can tell if it’s appropriate to bring hiking shoes or a swimsuit. There are also some things you can bring that are specific to your rehab, like your pet if they are allowed or your cellphone and laptop if you can do work there. Admissions are also happy to tell clients what to pack specific to their center. Read more about what to pack for a 28-day residential stay on our rehab packing list.

Is detox required before addiction treatment?

Whether or not you need to detox before treatment depends on your substance use history (which substances you used, at what level, and for how long). Your primary care doctor can help you determine if medically supervised detox is necessary for you. Specific detox requirements may also vary from rehab to rehab. Rehab admissions and clinical staff can provide more information and help you create a plan for detox during your initial assessment.

How do rehabs ensure confidentiality?

The HIPAAAct protects the medical records and health information of clients in rehab. Rehab staff members are also trained to keep client’s privacy during treatment. If confidentiality is a concern for you, inquire with a center you’re considering about their privacy policies and what steps they take to ensure your comfort.
