When selecting an alcohol and drug rehab center for your addiction treatment, one thing you might want to consider is how confrontational the rehab center is? This doesn’t mean everyone is standing around yelling at eachother. What I’m bringing up is how quickly do they intercede if they think a client is not fully participating in the program or the client may be considering dangerous behavior. The purpose of going to a drug rehab center is to change the bahaviors that are destroying the progress in your life. It is not to have some counselor stroke your ego by telling you everything they like about you.

Going to rehab is not like a Tony Robbins “improve your life seminar”. Going to rehab is about saving your life. You want staff at the rehab center to be very comfortable about getting in your face about your behavior. If you could change your behavior by someone simply praising you and saying “wouldn’t it be nice if…..” you would have changed it before rehab and be spending your money on a nice tropical vacation by now. That’s not the case. You are going to rehab because your life is not working right now. You are going to rehab because you want change in those core things that are destroying it. You need counseling from assertive people who will not buy into the bullshit you may have danced with in the past. You should really consider a confrontational rehab.
