Which drug addiction treatment is the best?
The answer is simple: there
is no such thing as the best
drug addiction treatment.
Depending on the kind of the
addiction, your age and social
situation different treatments
may be chosen for your benefit.
Here are a few most common
drug addiction treatments
(from www.nida.nih.gov
website):
(1) Relapse Prevention - this
treatment helps you control
your behavior, learn to identify
dangerous situations and avoid
them. It concentrates on augmenting
your learning processes and
developing your own defense
skills.
(2) Matrix model - strict
and personal, with therapist
acting as your friend and
as your coach at the same
time. This drug addiction
treatment seems to be intensive
and deep. It works as much
on your consciousness as on
forcing into you a kind of
drill which prevents you from
using drugs.
(3) Supportive-Expressive
Psychotherapy - it works mostly
through interpersonal links,
creating your sphere of comfort
and teaches you to trust in
other people support. Good
and comfortable, used mostly
for cocaine and heroin addicts.
(4) Individualized drug counseling
is a drug addiction treatment
that concentrates not only
on a drug addiction, but works
also on other related subject
- employment status, family
problems etc. It's a short-term
therapy, but when it helps,
it helps in a big way.
(5) Motivational Enhancement
Therapy - this one concentrates
on the addicts will - its
aim is to incite the will
to fight the addiction. It
changes people, but in a good
way. It makes them stronger
and more focused.
(6) Behavioral Therapy for
Adolescents - the treatment
is based on assumption that
by showing desired behavior
and rewarding any steps addicts
take toward achieving it,
this drug addiction treatment
will change patients behavior
to drug-free one.
(7) Multidimensional Family
Therapy (MDFT) for Adolescents
takes a different approach
and tries to help addicts
by their families. It offers
interesting and fruitful approach
as many addictions have their
roots in dysfunctional families,
but it doesn't need only the
addict's cooperation, but
also the help from the family,
which may be sometimes difficult.
