    Drug Detox

    One of the first things an addict should do when entering treatment is to abstain from using illicit drugs completely. Depending on the length of time that the person has been using, the addict may have to go through alcohol or drug withdrawal. Fortunately, detox doesn’t have to be done alone, and withdrawal symptoms can be managed medically in an inpatient or outpatient setting. While detox may be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Detoxification allows the addict to rid the body of all traces of drugs or alcohol and gives the addict a clean slate for their recovery.

    Inpatient Treatment Program

    Inpatient treatment for alcoholism or drug addiction is an option that provides the addict with a supportive environment in which they can stop using. After detox, an inpatient treatment center provides a structured environment for the addict to recover from their addiction and begin taking steps toward a lifetime of sobriety.

    This type of treatment is appropriate for addicts that are most in need of intensive care and supervision. This includes those who were unable to quit on their own, those who need more structure than they can get in outpatient treatment, and those whose addiction has led them into legal trouble or severe health problems.

    Aftercare Support

    Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program is only the first step. Then comes aftercare support. These services include sober living accommodations, career counseling, and AA/NA programs for those struggling with sobriety or who want help maintaining it after initial rehab at an addiction facility.

    They can last up to a year or more depending on what’s needed most urgently after the earlier stages are completed.

Addiction treatment should aim to help addicts develop healthy coping mechanisms for dealing with their addiction and its underlying causes.

The program is available in most cities in the United States and helps those addicted to drugs or alcohol achieve sobriety. In this program, peers help each other achieve the goal of abstinence.

The process of cognitive restructuring helps individuals change their negative thoughts into positive ones.

    Contingency Management / Motivational Incentives

    Behavioral therapies, such as contingency management, are widely used to improve drug addiction outcomes. Contingency management is a type of CM that uses rewards to increase desired behaviors, such as abstinence. LPE is a highly effective and low-cost treatment that has been used with populations across the intellectual and developmental spectrum for decades. It is based on the principle that reinforcing desired behavior will increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again in the future.

    LPE has become an integral component of outpatient substance abuse treatment and relapse prevention for both adults and adolescents. It is similar to contingency management programs used in substance abuse treatment, and clinical studies have shown that it can effectively treat drug addiction, reduce the number of days using drugs, and prevent relapse.
