Everywhere you look, you may come across certain recovery buzzwords that catch your eye but do not provide enough information for you to decide with what to do next. One of those statements may include “evidence-based” as part of their description of their addiction treatment. Seeing “evidence-based” might cause you to perceive the professionalism of the program, although you may be unsure what it entails. Let us dig a little deeper into the meaning of “evidence-based” treatment so you can make an educated decision about treatment for yourself or your loved one.
What Does “Evidence-Based” Mean?
Rehabilitation facilities want to treat the whole person to match up with their specific recovery needs. Most rehabs do not have a one-treatment-fits-all method. They employ various evidence-based therapies to assist in healing their clients mentally, physically, and spiritually. There are six categories that must be met in order for a treatment to be accredited as evidence-based. Transparency, research, standardization, replication, fidelity scale, and meaningful outcomes are the aspects that can constitute a therapy as evidence-based. Having this measurable information attracts more people with the confidence to know that anyone can get well from drug and alcohol addiction. Evidence-based therapies indicate that the rehab is ready to invest in the client with something that has a proven track record.
