Alcohol and drug rehab is not for everyone who has a drug or alcohol addiction. Who should not go to a rehab? Number one would be people who are still for the most part in control of their life. They are still functioning quite well in their job. They still have for the most part financial control of their life. Drug and alcohol may becoming a large and significant problem, that is starting to interfere with the normal functioning of their life. They have few if any legal consequences because of drugs or alcohol. These clients are far better served in many cases with outpatient programs and counseling. Private one to one therapy may be a choice.

Rehab is more suited who have repeatedly tried to quit with no success. Rehab is for people who have failed with outpatient treatment. Their lives are becoming uncontrolable and have serious issues in their life because of drug and alcohol abuse. Rehab is not also for people who don’t want to change. If you truly don’t want to quit, don’t go a rehab center. Going to make others happy will most likely lead to disappointment. If you don’t think you can quit but really want to, then go, let the drug or alcohol rehab center show you the way. Rehab is mentioned in the press so much it seems like everyone is going. Not so, other options may be better for many people. Rehab is more for the most serious, resistant cases of addiction, and then only for the ones committed to change.
