Addiction treatment is the management and care of a patient suffering from drug or alcohol abuse, in order to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of the disease upon the patient. It is important to know that no single treatment approach is appropriate for all individuals, and that sustained recovery may require multiple courses of treatment with multiple approaches, as is true for other illnesses or diseases.
In-patient, out-patient, intensive… The levels of care can be confusing when it comes to addiction treatment. When entering treatment, an assessment will help evaluate what level is most appropriate for the best care.
