Why should I pay for private rehab services when the government offers programs that are provided as part of our health care coverage?
There are publicly funded rehab programs available, but there are certain advantages to enrolling in a private drug and alcohol rehab facility. 1) No waiting When you or your loved one make the decision to get help now, you want it now – not tomorrow! Addictions professionals recommend that you listen to that impulse of immediacy. When you delay an entry into treatment research shows that the resolve often lessens, and with the complications to treatment mounting, you may miss the opportunity to recover your life. Most public facilities operate with substantial waiting lists and you may need to wait for weeks or even months for your turn at treatment. Private rehabs can of course fill up too, but the available options are greater, and the odds are very good that you can find a quality drug or alcohol rehab in your area willing to accept you today. 2) After Hours Assistance Unlike public centres, Turning Point is always available after hours and help begins from the moment you call.
