The decision to seek professional help for addiction at a residential rehab facility is a big deal...
For individuals, taking that first step toward facing your addiction shows you understand there is a problem, one that you are not able to solve alone. But, with so many forms of treatment available, it can be overwhelming to pin down which type of treatment is going to be the most effective for you and your own unique situation.
For loved ones, seeking help for a family member or friend, it's often just as overwhelming as you are not only trying to find the best treatment available while dealing with an unpredictable or explosive situation, you may have a limited understanding of what the person is really going through.
Most of the team at Miracles Asia are in long-term, active recovery themselves. This means you will be supported by people who have been through the same rollercoaster of emotions that you are on right now.
On this page, you will find answers to most of the common questions that guests at Miracles Asia ask prior to their arrival. We've also added a few some of our alumni wished they had known to ask before starting treatment at other facilities in order to ensure that the root cause of their addiction would be addressed.
