Detox Programs
When a person uses too much alcohol or other drugs on a regular basis, they can feel dependent on them to make it through the day. This addiction can damage a person’s physical, social and mental health because of changes and long-term damage to the brain and other organs.
Treatment for substance misuse and addiction depends on the type of substances involved, and how serious a person’s addiction is.
Treatment may involve a mix of psychiatric interventions, psychological care, support groups and self-help strategies.
