Treating Drug assignment

Treatment Paper

Chapter 18, Treating Drug Dependence, describes what we know is effective drug treatment.

The purpose of this treatment paper is to show an understanding of the treatment needs of persons who have addiction, dependency, substance abuse disorder problems. What can a person do if they experience loss of control of their substance use and the negative impacts on their life?

Most treatment in the US is based on the Bio-Psych-Social model of disease.
