This document discusses different approaches in therapeutic modalities. It notes that therapeutic modalities focus on overall lifestyle changes and recovery rather than just interpreting drug use or attaining abstinence. Building good therapeutic relationships through mutual trust, respect, shared decision-making and engagement is discussed. The costs of different modalities are justified by reduced admissions to institutions. Establishing networks of therapeutic modalities can provide evidence-based practices and quality improvement. Different components and practices of therapeutic modalities approaches are also outlined.
