Many different approaches to drug treatment are available today. A few examples that you may be familiar with include residential in-patient treatment, out-patient treatment, support groups, counseling, or even a hybrid of several different approaches. What approach or combination of approaches is chosen for an individual depends on what will best suit the individual’s unique needs. Needs may depend on factors such as the degree of dependence to the drug, the patient’s social situation, and the type of drug to which they are addicted.
Although many options exist, all approaches to drug treatment require certain basics in order for the treatment to prove effective:
- Treatment must be custom- tailored to an individual, as everyone has a different situationM
- Treatment must attend not only to an individual’s physical addiction, but also to his/her emotional, behavioral, and other psychological needs – in many cases, the psychological disorder exists before the drug abuse even develops, due to using drugs as a self-medication for the psychological disorder
- Treatment plan must be assessed often in order to adjust to an individual’s changing needs
- Treatment must last an adequate period of time – research has shown that the longer a person stays in treatment, the more likely they are to stay clean
- As with other chronic diseases, drug treatment is not a one-time thing – continued care is essential in ensuring that an individual remains free from drugs
