Pharmacotherapies
-
Acamprosate (Campral®)
Often known by the brand name Campral, Acamprosate is a common medication used in alcohol dependence treatment. Unlike other medicines that make alcohol unpleasant to the user, Acamprosate works by reducing the brain's dependence on it.
-
Disulfiram
Disulfiram (Antabuse) is an alcohol dependence treatment medication that reduces cravings by discouraging the consumption of alcohol.
-
Buprenorphine with naloxone
Buprenorphine is an opioid agonist that reduces the effects of opioid withdrawal. Naloxone rapidly reverses the effects of opioids, preventing overdose and severe withdrawal symptoms
-
Buprenorphine without naloxone
Buprenorphine is an opioid agonist that reduces the effects of opioid withdrawal. This helps those addicted to opioids such as fentanyl, heroin, and painkillers by easing the withdrawal process and is used in conjunction.
-
Naltrexone (oral)
Naltrexone blocks the pleasure receptors that are interacted with by alcohol and narcotics. This effectively removes any pleasurable sensations the substance offers and reduces the need to take them.
-
Naltrexone (extended-release, injectable)
Naltrexone blocks the pleasure receptors that are interacted with by alcohol and narcotics. This effectively removes any pleasurable sensations the substance offers and reduces the need to take them.
-

Setting
-
Hospital inpatient/24-hour hospital inpatient
Those with severe addictions who need medical detox can receive the intensive care they need in a hospital inpatient setting. 24 hour care can be given, including appropriate medications and therapy.
-
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment centers offer the same level of care as inpatient settings while also allowing the patient to be able to return home each day
-
Hospital inpatient detoxification
For some substance use disorders, such as with opioids, the withdrawal symptoms can be extremely uncomfortable and for those addicted to benzodiazepines or alcohol, even life-threatening. In these instances, a medically supervised detox may be necessary to ensure the process is handled safely.
-
Hospital inpatient treatment
Inpatient treatment programs are usually recommended (but not reserved) for those suffering from more severe forms of addiction, especially with drugs that have dangerous withdrawal symptoms, such as alcohol or benzodiazepines.
-
Outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization
Outpatient day treatment or PHP requires patients to attend treatment for up to ten hours a day, most if not all days of the week while living at home.
-
Intensive outpatient treatment
IOP requires patients to attend day treatment for three hours a day, often for five days a week but declining as recovery improves.

Detox
-
Alcohol Detoxification
The safest and most effective way of tackling detox is through an alcohol rehab center with dedicated medical supervision. This reduces the risks of medical complications caused by withdrawal and reduces the likelihood of relapse
-
Benzodiazepines Detoxification
The physical and psychological effects of benzodiazepine withdrawal, such as seizures and suicidal ideation, are potentially life-threatening and should always be treated by medical professionals in a medically supervised detox.
-
Cocaine Detoxification
The first stages of cocaine addiction treatment begin with an initial detox. During cocaine detoxification, the drug is cleared from the body while a healthcare professional manages withdrawal symptoms and keeps the patient calm and comfortable
-
Opioids detoxification
Most people experiencing opioid withdrawal will begin to feel symptoms within the first 8-24 hours after their last dose, and sometimes even sooner. Without a monitored detoxification, these intense withdrawal symptoms will often cause the sufferer to relapse. Opioid detoxification can include a course of medication to help alleviate cravings and manage uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.

It also helps to build a support network which helps reduce relapse and promotes positive relationships outside of substance abuse.
-
Family counseling
Family counseling for substance use disorders and behavioral addictions helps the patient repair relationships with those close to them through open dialogue around past miss doings that were caused by addiction. This helps reestablish trust and builds a support network for the patient.
