If you are a substance user or if you are addicted to a substance, you’ll need a specialized type of therapy. To be effective, substance abuse therapy must identify and address the underlying causes of the user’s behavior. Treatment also should teach patients how to identify high-risk situations and triggers, and how to develop the skills to prevent a relapse. The goal of treatment, which can include group and/or individual therapy sessions, is to help each patient achieve lasting recovery.
