The National Institute on Drug Abuse states that treating addiction will often require many components because of its complexity. This means that treatment will likely include a range of behavioral and pharmacological approaches.
Detox Kits: These are the self-detox version of medical detox. The common drug store sells detox kits, which are designed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. They can be taken as a pill (or a drink), and they are not usually medically approved.

There are many different treatment options. Some people who have severe addictions choose to enter a detox program before they can transition into rehabilitation. Others might prefer to recover in an inpatient or a outpatient facility. It is recommended to continue strengthening the lessons learned from rehab by attending support group sessions and therapy sessions.
Next, the patient will need to be stabilized with psychological and medical therapy. The goal of stabilization, is to prevent any kind of harm to the patient. Doctors can prescribe treatment medication to treat addiction. This will prevent withdrawal symptoms from developing and may also help with complications.

Researchers have different ways of thinking about addictions. This influences the models they use. There are four main Behavioral Models for addiction: the Moral Model (or Disease Model), Socio-Cultural Model, Psycho-dynamic Model and Socio-Cultural Model. According to the Moral Model of addiction, addiction is an act of moral weakness. It is also believed that the individual responsible for their addiction is responsible. Moral Model supporters consider drug use a choice. According to the Disease Model, substance abuse can be described as a chronic, relapsing condition that causes brain damage. Research into the neurobiological reasons for addiction has shown mixed results. Abstinence is the only option. Sociocultural Model attempts to explain how certain populations are more likely to abuse substances than others. It looks at how the marginalized can become more susceptible to addiction due to discrimination, poor life quality, low opportunity and other problems. Psycho-Dynamic model considers mental illness and trauma as the precursor to addiction. Many rehabilitation centers deal with "co-occurring", or substance abuse disorder and mental illness.
As part of detox, patients will receive appropriate controlled medication to aid with withdrawal. Although no medication will cure withdrawal symptoms entirely, there are some medications that can ease anxiety and depression and help you sleep well.
Consider relocating to a different counselor if you feel like you aren't "connecting" with them.
Withdrawal symptoms for most drugs can take several days to complete. There are many factors which can affect how long it takes to get through withdrawal symptoms.
Motivational enhancement therapy is used to teach people how to get out of addiction. This type of therapy is used frequently to treat co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Some inpatient detox programs offer peer support and medical care. Some programs include full medical monitoring, with nurses and doctors available 24 hours a day.

Drug rehabilitation is a subjective field that defines recovery. As such, there aren't any standards for measuring success. Betty Ford Institute defined the definition of recovery as "complete abstinence", while other studies used "near-abstinence" to describe it. This wide variety of meanings makes it difficult to select rehabilitation programs.
Some opioid medications, such as methadone or more buprenorphine can be used to treat addiction and dependency on opioids like heroine, morphine, and oxycodone. Methadone maintenance therapy and buprenorphine help reduce cravings and opiate use. Both drugs can be used to treat addiction (for an indefinite time) or as maintenance medication. All available studies collected in the 2005 Australian National Evaluation of Pharmacotherapies for Opioid Dependence suggest that maintenance treatment is preferable, with very high rates (79-100%) of relapse within three months of detoxification from levo-a-acetylmethadol (LAAM), buprenorphine, and methadone.
Many addiction treatment options have been successful. They are often combined.
Many medications used in detox include medication that mimics the effects of drugs to relieve withdrawal symptoms. Other conditions and general discomfort may also be addressed by medications.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately 8.1 percent of Americans, or 21.7million people, need treatment for substance abuse disorders.
