1(800) 615-1067Drug addiction treatment can be very effective, but its success depends on various factors, such as the individual’s motivation to change, the severity of the addiction, the presence of co-occurring mental health issues, and the quality of the treatment program. Research has shown that addiction treatment can help individuals reduce substance use, improve their mental and physical health, increase their social and occupational functioning, and decrease their risk of relapse. The most effective addiction treatment approaches are usually evidence-based, meaning they have been rigorously tested and proven to work through scientific research. These may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, contingency management, motivational interviewing, and medication-assisted treatment. It’s important to note that addiction is a chronic disease, and like any chronic illness, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Success in addiction treatment often requires ongoing support and maintenance, even after completing a formal treatment program.
