Heroin Abuse: Historical Program Success Rate
Look for the program that has a history of more than 40 years and you will get what you need. If the program has only been around for a few years, it is still experimental and should be avoided. You will be safe considering any program that has been around for more than 10 years. You are taking a serious risk considering any 'new' or 'radical' program. Also, the time tested program you select should clearly state its success rate. Many boast of a 10-15% success rate. You want the one with a 50% success rate or better.

Simple Detox. Removal of drug residuals from the body is essential to any rehabilitation process. New approaches to drug detoxification of the body are invented as more is understood about the function of drugs in the body. Some detox approaches are rather dangerous and very radical, employing a wide range of chemicals and often requiring extended and expensive hospitalization. A zero risk and low cost sauna program with a rigorous vitamin regimen to simply flush the body of the drug residuals has proven to be the safest and lowest cost approach.

Avoid Drug Replacement. Too many drug rehabilitation programs simply replace the addiction to the illegal drug with one to a prescription drug. The point here is that the ideal drug rehabilitation program uses no replacement drug therapy. There are many rehab programs to choose from and one simple approach to make a selection easier is to find out if the rehab program uses drug replacement therapy and if so, seek one that does not.

Official Program Recognition. All drug rehab programs 'claim' they are approved by this hospital or that doctor. What you need is a program that has such a long and successful history that it is actually recognized and recommended by many doctors, several hospitals and numerous City and Governmental Officials, based on its high success rate over a period of decades.

A Rehabilitation Guarantee. There are few programs that actually guarantee their rehabilitation and offer free additional treatment should the addict relapse. If a program is willing to guarantee their results with free additional treatment you at least know that the company seriously stands behind their program. This one criteria alone will help you eliminate most competing programs from your selection process as only a few programs stand by their results to this degree. It is this sort of guarantee that is a strong indicator that you will get the result you really want. For more information on this topic, click anywhere in this paragraph.
After-Rehabilitation Life Counseling. Effective life counseling for the recovering addict is a critical element of any successful drug rehab program. Any program that does not use proven life counseling to re-orient the rehabilitated individual back into society is simply a waste of time and money. It was the lack of these life skills that created the 'need' for drugs to escape their reality and ultimately made the addict in the first place.
