1.  Drug addiction is a result of continuous abuse of
drugs, alcohol and other chemical substances. It begins
with an individual; taking small amounts of pills or
chemicals occasionally, until the practice becomes
habitual and the desire cannot be fulfilled. The chemical
substances have different effects on different
individuals. Everyone who intakes alcohol or other illicit
elements may not eventually become an addict but
there are also other serious substance related
problems.

2.  It is worth noted that no single cure has been
considered appropriate for everyone. The most widely
used Drug addiction treatment is medication; which is
being used since a long time to bring relief among
addicts. Medications are used to help in the withdrawal
process as well as treatment. The withdrawal symptoms
are suppressed during detoxification, which is the initial
stage of cure.

3.  The medically aided detoxification should be followed
by further prescription pills that will help in reinstating
the normal brain condition. When the brain condition is
restored to normal, there will not be more cravings for
the illicit elements. Since different chemical substances
affect the addict's body differently, there are treatment
dosages for every type of abuse.

4.  The other Drug addiction treatment is the behavioral
method. This approach is used to deal with the victim's
attitude towards the use of life taking elements. The
victims are encouraged to practice healthy life skills and
styles. This approach is administered through two
methods; outpatient behavioral remedy and residential
remedy. In outpatient behavioral remedy, addicts enroll
in programs whereby they visit a clinic for Drug and
alcohol counseling. The package also has other
programs all aimed at instilling behavioral change to the
victim.

5.  Those with severe substance addiction problems may have
to undergo residential remedy. In this method, the victim is
kept in a residence where special attention is offered. A good
example is therapeutic communities where victims can stay
for more than 6 months as they receive behavioral therapy
as well as the appropriate treatment.
