[…] Although there’s no cure for drug addiction, treatment options can help you overcome an addiction and stay drug-free. Your treatment depends on the drug used and any related medical or mental health disorders you may have. Long-term follow-up is important to prevent relapse. […] Treatment programs for substance use disorder usually offer: Individual, group or family therapy sessions; A focus on understanding the nature of addiction, becoming drug-free and preventing relapse; Levels of care and settings that vary depending on your needs, such as outpatient, residential and inpatient programs.

  Yes, addiction is a treatable disorder. Research on the science of addiction and the treatment of substance use disorders has led to the development of research-based methods that help people to stop using drugs and resume productive lives, also known as being in recovery. […] Treatment enables people to counteract addiction’s disruptive effects on their brain and behavior and regain control of their lives. […] The chronic nature of addiction means that for some people relapse, or a return to drug use after an attempt to stop, can be part of the process, but newer treatments are designed to help with relapse prevention. […] Treatment of chronic diseases involves changing deeply rooted behaviors, and relapse doesn’t mean treatment has failed. […] Research shows that when treating addictions to opioids (prescription pain relievers or drugs like heroin or fentanyl), medication should be the first line of treatment, usually combined with some form of behavioral therapy or counseling.

• #4 Psychiatry.org – What Is a Substance Use Disorder?

  https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/addiction-substance-use-disorders/what-is-a-substance-use-disorder

  Substance use disorder (SUD) is a complex condition in which there is uncontrolled use of a substance despite harmful consequences. People with SUD have an intense focus–sometimes called an addiction–on using a certain substance(s) such as alcohol, tobacco, or other psychoactive substances, to the point where their ability to function in day-to-day life becomes impaired. […] Effective treatments for substance use disorders are available. The first step is recognition of the problem. The recovery process can be delayed when a person lacks awareness of problematic substance use. […] Because SUDs affect many aspects of a persons life, multiple types of treatment are often required. For most, a combination of medication and individual or group therapy is most effective. Treatment approaches that address an individuals specific situation and any co-occurring medical, psychiatric, and social problems are optimal for sustained recovery.

  Substance use disorders — the repeated misuse of alcohol and/or drugs — often occur simultaneously in individuals with mental illness, usually to cope with overwhelming symptoms. The combination of these two illnesses has its own term: dual diagnosis, or co-occurring disorders. Either disorder (substance use or mental illness) can develop first. […] The best treatment for dual diagnosis is integrated intervention, when a person receives care for both their diagnosed mental illness and substance use disorder. The idea that “I cannot treat your depression because you are also drinking” is outdated — current thinking requires both issues be addressed. […] Detoxification. The first major hurdle that people with a substance use disorder will have to pass is detoxification. Inpatient detoxification is generally more effective than outpatient for initial sobriety and safety. During inpatient detoxification, trained medical staff monitor a person 24/7 for up to seven days. The staff may administer tapering amounts of the substance or its medical alternative to wean a person off and lessen the effects of withdrawal.

These treatment centers provide therapy, support, medication and health services to treat the substance use disorder and its underlying causes.

In particular, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people with dual diagnosis learn how to cope and change ineffective patterns of thinking, which may increase the risk of substance use. […] Medications are useful for treating mental illness. Certain medications can also help people experiencing substance use disorders ease withdrawal symptoms during the detoxification process.

  https://www.recoveryanswers.org/resource/pharmacotherapy-medication-assisted-treatments/

  THERE ARE 3 PRIMARY CLASSES OF MEDICATIONS TO TREAT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER: Agonists, Antagonists, Mixed Agonist-Antagonists. […] Antagonists bind to and block neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. In pharmacotherapy for addictions, antagonists are employed that specifically target receptors activated by particular drugs. In this way, the antagonist medication can reduce the likelihood of use of a targeted drug (because the individual won’t be able to experience the drug effects and is less likely to try using the drug), and prevent overdose (even if someone takes the drug it won’t have an effect). Generally speaking, antagonist medications have no misuse potential because they don’t produce any drug-like effects. […] As the name suggests, mixed agonist–antagonists have a dual action; they both stimulate neurotransmitter receptors in the brain, and at the same time they block the neurotransmitter receptors from being activated by a specific drug or classes of drugs. The drug actions of both stimulating and blocking are non-permanent effects that only occur when the drug is taken and active in the body.
