We are honored to announce that Sana Lake Recovery has once again been recognized by Newsweek and Statista as the #1 Addiction Treatment Center in St. Louis and is the only treatment center in the St. Louis area to be in the top 3 in the state. This recognition marks our second consecutive year (2023 and 2024) of receiving this award, reflecting an unwavering commitment to excellence in addiction treatment and recovery services.
Why Does Newsweek Rank Top Addiction Treatment Centers?
In partnership with global data research firm Statista, Newsweek conducts an annual comprehensive evaluation of addiction treatment centers across the United States. Each August, Newsweek releases its rankings of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers, guiding those seeking quality care. This assessment identifies and recognizes facilities that consistently deliver exceptional care and treatment outcomes.
The rankings help families and individuals seeking treatment by:
- Providing an independent, trusted source for evaluating treatment options
- Offering clear comparisons between facilities in their region
- Verifying the quality and legitimacy of treatment centers
- Highlighting centers with proven track records of success
- Simplifying the process of finding reputable treatment options during critical times
While Newsweek rankings help individuals and families, it also encourages treatment centers to maintain and elevate their standards of care, ultimately benefiting those struggling with substance use disorders.
Specific Criteria Used in the Newsweek Rankings
Newsweek and Statista’s rankings of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers are based on a meticulous evaluation process. Key criteria include:
- Patient Satisfaction: Surveys are conducted with patients and their families to gauge their experiences, including the quality of care, treatment outcomes, and overall satisfaction with the facility.
- Reputation Among Medical Professionals: Healthcare experts, such as addiction specialists, therapists, and physicians, are consulted to assess the professional reputation of the treatment centers. Their insights ensure that rankings reflect industry trust and expertise.
- Quality and Accreditation: Facilities are evaluated based on their accreditations, certifications, and adherence to industry best practices. This ensures the centers meet stringent safety, ethical, and operational standards.
- Treatment Effectiveness: The evaluation includes an analysis of measurable outcomes, such as relapse rates, sustained recovery rates, and patient progress during and after treatment.
- Facilities and Accessibility: Rankings consider the infrastructure and accessibility of the centers, including amenities, location, and their ability to accommodate diverse patient needs.
Sana Lake Recovery excelled in all these categories, setting itself apart from other facilities in St. Louis and the state of Missouri.
