Drug abuse treatment is applied for an individual with the diagnosis of a Substance Use Disorder. There are both outpatient and inpatient treatments. The level of treatment usually depends on several factors.
For outpatient drug abuse treatment, the patient must be in a safe enough environment to participate in the treatment without posing a health risk. There are safe and effective outpatient treatments for Opiate Use Disorder, Alcohol Use Disorder and Tobacco Use Disorder.
Ideally, drug abuse treatment should be managed by a Board-Certified Addictionologist. An Addictionologist is a physician with special training in Addictive Diseases. Such a doctor is best qualified to manage Substance Use Disorders.
Another form of treatment for drug abuse is inpatient treatment. Inpatient treatment is for those individuals who fail outpatient treatment, or for those for whom additional monitoring is necessary for patient safety. Examples of this would be an elderly individual or someone with some severe or complicated, pre-existing medical problems.
One advantage of inpatient treatment is that it is provided in a drug-free environment. Some individuals require this, to break through the cycle of drug addiction. Others can be managed as an outpatient and attend support groups such as Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous.
Substance Use Disorders now can be effectively managed with appropriate medical care. The best way to tackle a Substance Use Disorder is the first admit that a problem exists and then to seek appropriate care. Involving family and friends is helpful and avoiding individuals who are abusing substances also increases the chances of success.
