Our team examined 15 rehabilitation centres with drug and alcohol rehabilitation services and compared clinical credentials, treatment practices, and successful recovery.

Adding a focus on professional burnout and the use of evidence-based methods to treat the dual diagnosis of substance use and professional burnout, along with traditional programmes that treat symptoms in isolation.

Decision Framework:  

When selecting rehabilitation programmes, professionals should prioritise dual diagnosis. It’s because burnout and addiction must be treated at once. According to the research, we will experience a shortage of over 10 years for mental health counsellors (nearly 88,000) and addiction counsellors (114,000) by 2037.

The UK shows 46% of the workforce experiences burnout. That contributes to addiction rates, and the economic impact of career derailment is estimated at £3.5M.

Conclusion

Selecting a rehabilitation centre is an important step in overcoming your addiction and burnout. Each centre has its own unique strengths and focuses on a particular area, so consider your individual needs and preferences.

Keep in mind the treatment philosophy, group size, geographical location, and financial costs. However, most importantly, make sure you choose rehabilitation centres that integrate the treatment of addiction with mental health issues, as it is important that they treat both simultaneously.

Developing your recovery will take time, so make sure you choose a centre with a treatment programme that is of an appropriate length. Ensure you conduct your own research, prepare your own questions, and go with your gut when choosing a centre. It is your own journey, and you deserve a centre that will help you achieve your goals.
