1. Seek a Local Facility
There are a number of reasons to go local rather
than seek out a nationally recognized rehab
center.  One is that it is bound to be much
cheaper, while the quality of treatment at a
luxury rehab does not really offer any advantages
when it comes to the bottom line and success
rates.  Second of all, getting family involvement
is much easier when you attend a local rehab,
rather than one across the country.  Third,
setting up a decent aftercare plan is much easier
if you keep it local, rather than going off afar.

2. Schedule Accurately
If you are in a drug rehab center, and you have
constant worries about things going on in the
outside world, then your treatment is not going
to be very effective.  Therefore, make sure that
you have absolutely no worries whatsoever on the
outside when you check into treatment.  If you
run your own business or something, then you have
to set up a plan in advance so that it is all
taken care of while you are gone.  Outside focus
can destroy your efforts.  Plan in advance to
eliminate all distractions.

3. Involve Family
The big studies show that if you get your family
involved in your treatment, you will generally
experience better outcomes.  Without necessarily
being pushy, try to get things set up so that the
important people in your life are also going to
be part of your treatment, and plan on having
them attend a family session or two with you if
you can.  Doing so will greatly increase your
chances of success.

4. Aftercare
There was a time when I went to residential
treatment myself, and things were going well, but
for whatever reason, I was not open to the
suggested form of aftercare.  This destroyed any
chance I had of staying clean, because I was not
willing to follow through on their suggestions,
and I also resented them for even suggesting long
term treatment.  Needless to say, I relapsed
immediately after leaving rehab.

5. Participate
If you go to rehab and take a passive role in the
groups and the meetings, expect to relapse
shortly thereafter.  No, the only way to recover
from addiction is to change your entire life, and
that requires massive action.  You have to get
active in your recovery in order to make real
progress.

6. Be Dedicated to Sobriety
This is really what it takes to be successful.
 Do not think of your trip to rehab as a minor
distraction in your life, or as a little side
project.  No, you have to think of your recovery
in terms of taking over your every waking
thought.  Your life must become all about
sobriety and recovery if you are going to be
successful.  Anything less than this full level
of commitment will result in relapse.
