Drug addiction treatment can come in many different forms. There are many addictive drugs, and treatments for specific drugs can differ. Treatment also varies depending on the needs of the individual who is addicted.

Problems associated with an individual's drug addiction can vary significantly. People who are addicted to drugs come from all walks of life. Many suffer from mental and emotional, occupational, health, or social problems that has caused and contributed to their drug addiction(s). Even if there are few associated problems, the severity of addiction itself ranges widely among people.

The goal of drug addiction treatment is to not only stop the use of drugs but to return the individual to a productive functioning person in the family, workplace, and community. While there are several different forms of drug addiction treatment out there, finding the right type of treatment can be a big decision.

It is possible to measure the successfulness of drug addiction treatment by looking at the levels of criminal behavior, family functioning, employability, and medical condition after treatment is complete. Successful drug addiction treatment should reduce drug use and significantly decrease criminal activity once the person is completely through the drug treatment program. Drug addiction treatment has also shown that it reduces the risk of disease, and improves the prospects for employment.
