What is addiction treatment?
There are a wide variety of treatment options available for people dealing with addiction. These treatments are offered as both out-patient and in-patient programs and usually involve behavioral therapy, medications (or a combination of both), support groups and/or self-help. To learn more about your treatment options, talk to your doctor or health professional. You can also read NIDA’s Drug Addiction Treatment Methods or call SAMHSA’s toll free referral helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
