Overcoming Drug Addiction

Developing a drug addiction can happen to anyone – addiction does not discriminate, and it is not a matter of weak moral standing, a lack of willpower or a flawed character. The very first step to overcoming drug addiction is understanding what this insidious and complex disease entails. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) considers drug addiction to be a chronic and relapsing brain disease, one that presents a range of symptoms that can be effectively treated and eliminated, but never fully cured. If you or someone you love has been struggling with a drug addiction of any severity, effective treatment options are readily available. The most effective methods of treatment vary on a person-to-person basis, but very multi-phased program of clinical care typically includes the following:

• Drug withdrawal in a medical detoxification facility
• Residential drug rehab (inpatient treatment)
• Intensive therapeutic care
• Medication Assisted Treatment (whenever necessary)
• A continuation of clinical care in an intensive outpatient or outpatient program
• Ongoing involvement in a mutual-aid group like Alcoholics Anonymous
• Sober living housing

If you or your loved one is ready to begin on the road to recovery, the most important step is choosing a drug rehab that meets all of your personal needs and clinical requirements. Choosing a drug rehab can be an intensive process – however, things will run much more smoothly if you know exactly what to look for.
