Question 37

13 Ways of drug treatment?

Answer 37

-Addiction is a complex, but treatable, disease that affects brain function and behavior

-No single approach works best for everyone; effective approaches attend to multiple needs, not just drug use (e.g. mental illness, vocational training, etc.)

-Treatment must be readily available and accessible

-Effective treatment attends to multiple needs and contexts of the individual – medical, psychological, social, vocational, identity (age, gender, ethnicity, culture, etc.)

-Remaining in treatment for an adequate amount of time is critical for sustained effect (3 month min.) and best outcomes occur with longer duration treatment; relapse is not failure, but a signal for adjustment of services

-Counseling/behavioral therapy is the most common form of effective treatment; peer support helps maintain long-term abstinence

-Medications are often an important component of effective drug treatment are not considered “replacing one addiction with another” if used properly

-Treatment plans must be continually updated to meet individuals’ changing needs

-Co-occurring mental health issues must be addressed for successful treatment

-Detox is only a first step in treatment and does not, by itself, lead to successful outcomes

-Treatment does not need to be voluntary to be effective

-Drug use during treatment should be monitored to detect and manage relapse

Treatment programs should test for infectious diseases to reduce risks and provide connections to accessible treatment
