Researchers have many models. 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 see drug abuse as a choice for anyone, even those who are addicted. Addicts, on the other hand, are seen as people with bad character. According to the Disease Model, substance abuse can be described as a chronic, relapsing condition that causes brain damage. Research on the neurobiological components of addiction has yielded mixed results. Abstinence is the only viable treatment. Sociocultural Model attempts to explain how certain populations are more likely to abuse substances than others. It examines how people can become addicted to substance abuse through discrimination, poor quality life, lack opportunities, and other factors that are common in marginalized communities. Psycho-Dynamic modeling considers trauma and mental illness as precursors 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. While there are no medications that can prevent withdrawal symptoms completely, certain types of medication can help ease anxiety and depression, allow for adequate sleep, and combat as many other issues as possible.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a method that helps individuals in recovery to learn how to stop allowing their addiction to control their thoughts and behavior. This therapy is often used for people who are in recovery from substance abuse and have co-occurring disorders, such as bipolar disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Some detox programs inpatients rely on peer support as well as some medical care. Others include medical monitoring that includes 24/7 access by nurses and doctors.

As there are no standards to measure recovery, the definition of recovery is subjective and divided in drug rehabilitation. According to the Betty Ford Institute, recovery is defined as complete abstinence and personal well-being. Other studies consider "near abstinence” a definition. This wide variety of meanings makes it difficult to select rehabilitation programs.
