Answer by andie l
First of all, addiction treatment programs are not just about medication. It’s not all about anti-depressants and mood stabilizers. There must be continued care and supervision. There must also be counseling and therapy. There must be a periodical assessment to keep track of the progress of the patient. The intensity and length of the treatment of the patient depends upon the severity of his drug addiction.
