Recovery from drug addiction is a complicated and long-term process and often requires several episodes of treatment rather than a single program. The ability to change destructive behavior, avoid relapse and turn back from a life of substance abuse and addiction are some of the positive results of treatment. It is worthwhile to note, however, that no single treatment is appropriate for all drug dependents. There is no "miracle treatment" or "cure-all" for drug addiction. In fact, even when a person undergoes a specific program, his or her treatment and services plan must continually be assessed and modified according to his or her changing needs.

For certain types of addiction, medication is an integral component of treatment and, as with most other types, is especially important when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies. Virtually all effective treatments for addiction involve counseling and different types of behavioral therapy.

The overall therapeutic process, whether medication alone or a combination of medication and behavioral therapy often starts with detoxification, followed by treatment and prevention of relapse. It is entirely possible that episodes of relapse will occur, thus requiring multiple treatment episodes.
