Reading the field
Every country above is graded against this published scale — the same 1–5 rubric for residential rehab quality, top to bottom. How we score →
Multiple internationally accredited residential facilities (5+ with JCI/CARF or equivalent). Comprehensive evidence-based treatment programs with qualified, multilingual clinical staff. Published outcome data showing strong success rates (>60% long-term sobriety). Robust international patient support services. Strong regulatory oversight and transparent quality reporting. Specialized programs for multiple addiction types.
Several quality residential facilities (3-4 accredited) with evidence-based programs and qualified staff. Good outcome tracking with moderate success rates (40-60%). Adequate international patient services with some language support. Clear regulatory framework with regular oversight. Some specialized addiction programs available.
Basic residential rehabilitation services available with some accredited facilities (1-2). Standard treatment approaches implemented with adequately trained staff. Limited outcome data available but facilities operate safely. Basic international patient accommodation. Government oversight present but potentially inconsistent. Generic addiction treatment without extensive specialization.
Few residential facilities available, minimal or questionable accreditation. Limited evidence-based treatment approaches, potentially underqualified staff. No reliable outcome data or concerning success rates. Minimal support for international patients. Weak regulatory oversight or compliance issues. Very limited treatment options.
Virtually no quality residential addiction treatment available. Lack of accreditation or regulatory oversight. Unqualified staff or concerning treatment methods. No international patient services. Significant safety or quality concerns. Treatment approaches may be ineffective or potentially harmful.
