Treatment is a complex and challenging component of recovery. The National
Institute of Drug Abuse (2018) lists this principles for effect treatment of drug
addiction:
R
● Addiction is a complicated, but treatable disease; it affects an individual’s brain
and behavior. There is a possibility that the changes will continue to affect the
person long after ceasing to be actively addicted.
VE
● There is not one way to treat addiction. Treatment varies greatly by person, by
drug, by needs. So, proper treatment needs to adapt to the individual. It is also
possible that there will be dual diagnoses, so care an attention should be given
to those scenarios as well.
● Treatment needs to be available. Treatment is not going to happen if the users
cannot access it. It should be accessible to those who need it, because it is more
likely the individual will have a positive outcome.
