Find A Program That
Works
Drug addiction can be overcome but often needs to be
addressed in a professional treatment setting.
Over the last 25
years, studies have shown that drug addiction treatment works to reduce drug
intake and crimes committed by drug-dependent people. Researchers also have
found that drug abusers who have been through treatment are more likely
to have jobs.
The ultimate goal of all drug abuse treatment is
to enable the patient to achieve lasting abstinence, but the immediate goals
are to reduce drug use, improve the patient's ability to function, and minimize
the medical and social complications of drug abuse.
