Addiction Treatment FAQs

Addiction treatment is a comprehensive process aimed at helping individuals overcome substance abuse or behavioral addictions. It typically includes medical intervention, therapy, counseling, and support to address the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction.

Common types of addiction treatment programs include:

  • Inpatient/Residential Treatment: Full-time care in a facility.
  • Outpatient Treatment: Flexible treatment that allows individuals to live at home while attending therapy.
  • Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): Intensive treatment during the day but no overnight stays.
  • Detoxification (Detox): Medically supervised withdrawal process.
  • 12-Step Programs: Peer support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
If substance use or a behavior is interfering with your health, relationships, work, or daily life, or if you feel unable to stop on your own, professional addiction treatment may be necessary. Warning signs include withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, and loss of control.

Some addiction treatments incorporate medications as part of the recovery process, especially for substance use disorders. This is called medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and is commonly used for opioid or alcohol addictions. Medications like methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone can help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Recovery is an ongoing process. After completing a treatment program, individuals often engage in:

  • Aftercare planning
  • Support groups (e.g., AA, NA, or SMART Recovery)
  • Ongoing therapy or counseling
  • Sober living arrangements, if needed

These steps help maintain sobriety and prevent relapse
