Question:

Can anyone please tell me what happens in a drug treatment program?

It seems like a handful people I know, or am acquainted with, are going to undergo drug treatment programs. I don't really know how these programs can help them. And why do they take so long? Enlighten me, please?


Answers:

Well, drug treatment programs usually involve "teaching" individuals how they can withdraw from the usage of drugs. First, they would have to undergo detoxification, a process of cleansing the body of the toxic substances that it as incurred due to the usage of drugs. Then, the patient has to undergo counseling, therapy, and medication. These programs last for a few months to a few years, depending on the needs of the patient. Since addiction is hard to treat, the program takes long.
