How do I know if I need rehab?

If you have a mental health condition or addiction that hinders your ability to function in your day-to-day life, looking into rehab could be a good idea. Residential rehab also offers a retreat from your normal environment that allows you to focus entirely on healing, which many people find beneficial even if their conditions are less severe.

How do I choose the best center for treatment?

Consider the level of care (i.e. Detox, Inpatient, or Outpatient)

Location: Some individuals benefit from traveling farther from where they live while others might have family or loved ones more involved in their healing process.

Cost: Consider your ability to pay through insurance, self-pay, or government-funded programs.

Program length: This depends on the severity of the patient’s condition.

Center specializations: Make sure your rehab has licensed clinicians with experience specifically treating a certain condition and that they can customize your treatment plan to fit your needs.

What's the typical cost for treatment?

Since many providers accept insurance, rehab doesn't have to be expensive. If you don't have insurance but are able to travel, you can find affordable cash pay rehab centers in destinations around the world.

Destination: South Africa

South Africa delivers unspeakable natural beauty and diverse experiences to help you relax and enjoy life. Here, treatment providers offer high quality treatment and one-of-a-kind excursions at an affordable price. Watch our exploration of South African luxury treatment to learn more.

How a Safari Can Help You Recover

Taking an African safari for the first time isn’t just an exhilarating adventure, it’s also deeply beneficial to your recovery process. This is something the team at White River Manor—a luxury treatment center located just outside of Kruger National Park – well knows, which is why this distinctly South African experience is offered to each of their guests.

More About Evidence-Based Rehab Centers

Evidence-based treatment is just as it sounds. The American Psychological Association defines evidence-based practice as “the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture and preferences.” Evidence-based treatment helps those with drug addiction, depression, and other issues.

This treatment is an effective way of providing real-world, successful therapies to addiction and mental health issues so that people can experience positive and motivational outcomes. You may use cognitive behavior therapy, family therapy, and many more.
