Types of Treatment
There are many paths to recovery from addiction. Some drug dependent people stop using on their own, through religious activities or self-help groups. Others require treatment in one of the four general modalities described below. All of these types of treatment are necessary components of an effective system, as no one program is best for everyone. Treatment can include behavioral approaches, medications or, in many cases, both. For a more detailed description of treatment options, see Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment, which is available from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Outpatient Drug-Free Programs provide individual, group and family counseling. Patients served are typically dependent on cocaine and/or alcohol. Programs employ a wide variety of counseling styles. Historically called "drug-free", many are now appropriately using medication combined with behavioral therapies to maximize therapeutic response. These medication-based therapies include psychiatric treatment and outpatient detoxification.

Opioid Agonist Programs treat people dependent on heroin. They provide counseling and either methadone or Levo-Alpha Acetyl Methadol (LAAM), two medications which block the withdrawal, craving and euphoric effects of heroin. Carefully regulated by federal and state agencies, methadone and LAAM are initially administered under direct observation. A specialty area within outpatient treatment, this modality is beginning to integrate psychiatric and medical care and to broaden the range and intensity of behavioral therapies provided.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs are designed for people dependent on alcohol or drugs. They may last several days to weeks and often use counseling techniques based on self-help programs. Medical and psychiatric screening may be available. Discharged patients are usually referred to outpatient programs and self-help groups.

Therapeutic Communities are long term residential treatments for people who are unable to discontinue drug use through other treatments. Lasting six months or longer, they offer a highly structured program which uses behavior modification and assigns increasingly responsible tasks to resocialize residents.
