Alcohol and Drug Addiction Programs


Substance abuse seems to peak with hardship and hardships result in stress. It is the hardship and the accompanied stress that had been a major contributor to alcohol and/or drug use and finally addiction.


Addiction has been known for years to be a chronic illness like heart disease and asthma. To treat addiction a multi-approach program needs to be in place. A comprehensive addiction treatment program can include medication to suppress drug cravings plus counseling and behavioral therapies.

Patients suffering from drug addiction who have developed additional medical or psychiatric problems require hospitalization in a drug rehab center and a period of drug detoxification, generally referred to as detox as the first step to an addiction treatment.

Short term, 30 to 90 day residential addiction treatment centers that specialize in treatment of drug addiction, alcoholism, and dual diagnosis of multiple issues are the next option in drug addiction treatment.

The third program which is helpful to those struggling with long term addiction and multiple relapses is the long term residential addiction treatment centers with highly structured addiction treatment programs offering 24 hour a day care, with an average stay of 6 to 12 months. This program is in place to teach people how to return to a drug-free lifestyle.


A less structured program called outpatient addiction treatment program, provides individual or group counseling and family therapy to those who are employed and cannot afford time off from work. People in this program need to have adequate social support systems to keep them focused and motivated for a successful treatment.

Self-help, support groups, and peer-to-peer addiction recovery support programs such as Nar-Anon, Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous include 12-step programs and peer counseling provide another choice for addiction treatment.


Professional people experience daily stress, more so during hard economic times. Public safety workers that routinely put their lives at risk to save others also go through stressful daily life. These groups of individuals when suffering from addiction require customized addiction treatment programs that address their time limitation and their need for privacy.
Stress in the family life such as marital problems, illness, death and even financial problem could lead to alcohol or drug abuse and addiction too. Some addiction treatment programs combine addiction treatment therapy with family therapy for a comprehensive approach in the treatment of drug and alcohol disease.
