Depression treatment is often an essential complement to the rehabilitation process. Addiction, after all, is always at least in part a psychological disease, and rehab programs must always promote psychological healing. The most effective rehabs—indeed the only effective rehabs—are those which fully serve the emotional needs of their clients. Given the stakes in the fight against substance abuse, you simply can’t afford to settle for an inferior level of treatment for depression and addiction.
All California rehab facilities make bold claims in their advertising brochures. But they don’t all deliver. The truth is that many of the most “exclusive” rehabs in Los Angeles fail to properly account for the psychiatric health of their patients—with devastating results for those patients and their families. The practical implication, then, is that you have to thoroughly research your options before you make a rehab decision. For your own sake, for the sake of the people who care about you, let today be the day you start learning what you need to learn.
