Drug Addiction Rehabilitation options
Treatment medications, such as methadone, LAAM, and naltrexone, are available for persons addicted to specific drugs. Nicotine preparations (patches, gum, nasal spray) and bupropion are obtainable for people hooked on nicotine. Medications, such as antidepressants, mood stabilizers, or neuroleptics, may be essential for therapy success when patients have co-existing psychiatric disorders, such as depression, stress disorder, manic-depressive syndrome, or a psychotic mental illness.
The best programs normally present a combination of both therapy and medication, and are integrated with alternative community services that meet the needs of the individual patient - a program that is shaped by such issues as age, race, culture, sexual preference, gender, pregnancy, parenting, housing, and employment status.
