When a business executive or CEO discovers they have an addiction or substance abuse problem, or when someone else discovers this problem for them, treatment usually becomes a priority. The average run-of-the-mill rehabilitation center was created for the average person who is on a budget and doesn’t have the highest expectations of their treatment or their quality of life. At an executive rehab, however, clients are treated to the best in lifestyle choice and quality of treatment.

What sets an executive rehab apart from the rest is the abundant resources that are available to the staff and clients. An executive rehab operates on a higher budget than the average rehabilitation center, which gives it access to the most current and successful treatment methods available, the best in counselors and mental health specialists and excellence in accommodations and amenities. It is true that an executive rehab will require a higher treatment fee than the average rehab, but the difference is very obviously in the quality of the experience.

Clients of an executive rehab can expect a thorough detox upon arrival, if it is substance abuse they are recovering from, in order to restore their body to its original health. It is important this process is done under constant medical supervision because prolonged severe substance abuse can inflict dangerous withdrawal symptoms on the individual once it is ended. This detox period is vital to having the physical and mental health needed to experience an effective recovery.

Once the detoxification is complete, the counseling, cognitive behavioral exercises and therapies can begin. This time is devoted to changing behavior and thought patterns within the client in order to promote good decision making and healthy lifestyle choices. This is facilitated over many days of focusing on mental health and addiction recovery, accompanied by therapeutic recreational activities, physical exercise and a healthy diet plan.

Even once treatment is over, ongoing care measures will be available to the client, such as group meetings and sponsors. A basic rehab experience cannot measure up to an executive rehab one, where the client will be treated in a fashion that is consistent with the client’s lifestyle.
