Distinguish Abu Dhabi care from Dubai services
The National Rehabilitation Center is in Abu Dhabi and publishes information about addiction treatment. It should not be described as a Dubai facility. Ask about eligibility, the assessment process and which inpatient or outpatient programme is relevant to your circumstances.

What to establish locally
Ask about clinical assessment, referral requirements, admission criteria, the treatment setting, language support and fees. Confirm whether a quoted service is delivered at the stated address and whether it is appropriate for the person’s needs. This is a starting guide, not a complete list of local providers.
When comparing treatment abroad
For Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other UAE residents comparing treatment abroad, build a plan around the person’s passport, residency and existing clinical care rather than assuming one admission or travel pathway applies to everyone. Ask where local follow-up can actually take place.
