Some of the ways a rehab center provides treatment are discussed below-

This dual diagnosis is essential to rule out any relapse and restore the person to their maximum capacity.
• Psychotherapy and Counseling- A wide range of therapies and counseling interventions are provided as a treatment modality for substance abuse. Although the majority of treatment takes place on the basis of medical intervention, psychotherapy and counseling act as supportive treatments to sustain the effects of medication. Therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivation Enhancement Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy are some therapeutic modalities usually applicable in de addiction treatment. Group, family and individual counseling are also critical aspects of de addiction procedure. They enhance the psychoeducation and highlight the common problems faced by the client that can be addressed and easily resolved by the client.
