Addiction Recovery Treatment
Addiction may be a complex
and chronic disease but it’s one that can be treated with effective recovery
treatment. Some treatment options address addiction directly and
provide coping mechanisms to help you deal with cravings and triggers without
relapsing. In many cases, treatments
are centered on helping you form relapse prevention strategies with which you
can safeguard your sobriety.
Other treatment
can be focused on underlying issues that may contribute to or worsen a substance use
disorder. Addiction
treatment can also be split into two other categories:
evidence-based treatments and alternative therapies. Treatment plans should be
grounded in evidence-based studies, but there may a time and a place for
alternative treatments in certain situations.
