Effective treatment attends to multiple needs of the individual, not just his drug abuse. To be effective, treatment must address the violence of the individual drugs and any medical, psychological, social, associated professional, and legal issues. It is also important that the treatment be appropriate to the age, sex, ethnicity, and culture of the individual.

Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of time is critical. The appropriate duration for an individual depends on the type and extent of the problems and needs of the patient. Research indicates that most addicts need at least three months of treatment to reduce or stop their drug use significantly and that the best results are obtained with longer treatment durations. Recovery addiction is a long-term process and requires multiple episodes of treatment frequently. As with other chronic illnesses, relapses to drug abuse may occur and should signal the need for treatment to be reinstated or adjusted. Because people often leave treatment prematurely, programs should include strategies to engage and keep patients in treatment.

Therapies, including individual behavior, family, or group counseling- are the most commonly used forms for the treatment of drug abuse. Behavioral therapies vary in their home and may involve addressing a patient's motivation to change, provide incentives for abstinence, building skills to resist drug use, replace drug addicts activities with activities constructive and rewarding, improved problem-solving skills, and facilitating better interpersonal relationships. In addition, participation in other peer support programs during group therapy and after treatment and can help maintain abstinence.
