principles of treatment
Answers
Hello mate,
Here is your answer,
1. Addiction is a complex but treatable disease that affects brain function and behavior.
2. No single treatment is appropriate for all individuals.
3. Treatment needs to be readily available.
4. Effective treatment attends to multiple needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use.
5. Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness.
6. Counseling (individual and/or group) and other behavioral therapies are critical components of effective treatment for addiction.
7. Medications are an important element of treatment for many patients, especially when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies.
8. An individual's treatment and services plan must be assessed continually and modified as necessary to ensure that the plan meets the person's changing needs.
9. Addicted or drug-abusing individuals with coexisting mental disorders should have both disorders treated in an integrated way.
10. Medical detoxification is only the first stage of addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug use.
11. Treatment does not need to be voluntary to be effective.
12. Possible drug use during treatment must be monitored continuously.
13. Treatment programs should provide assessment for infectious diseases, as well as counseling to help patients modify or change behaviors that place themselves or others at risk of infection.
