The only effective and appropriate way to stop addiction to alcohol, drugs or medication is complex treatment (substance rehabilitation, drug or alcohol treatment, addiction treatment) which starts with stopping binge drinking, using drugs and with body detoxication (detox; detoxification; post alcohol detox; post drug detox; cleansing the body from alcohol, drugs, medication).
During the addiction treatment the patient can make a number of changes necessary to stay sober. They should apply to both behaviours, attitudes, beliefs, habits and relationships, ways of responding, experiencing and thinking. With drug therapy they may also believe that it is possible to live without drugs. A person also acquires knowledge about addiction, its symptoms, course, consequences and impact on all aspects of life. Drug therapy is designed to also strengthen motivation to become sober and take responsibility for their lives and health.
Addiction therapy allows you to organize and develop techniques of coping in all significant aspects of life: emotional and spiritual life, relationships, and health. This slows down the advance of the disease and improves quality of life of the addicted person.
