Alcohol and Drug Addiction Therapy

Abuse of alcohol and drugs leads to deteriorated health and psychological problems. There is a huge range of drugs that are abused like marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, Ecstasy, etc.

Drugs and alcohol have a tendency to cause severe withdrawal effects without which the body shows physical symptoms such as hallucinations, anxiety, seizures, and tremors. Continued use can even lead to organ damage and death.

Rehabilitation is the only way to get out of these addictions. Rehabilitation includes medical and psychological therapy. It involves detoxification and use of psychological techniques to counter relapse. Medications like methadone may also be used. Willingness of addicts to get out of the habit also plays an important role.
