The path to drug addiction begins with the act of taking drugs. Over time, a person�s ability to choose not to take drugs becomes severely impaired. Drug seeking becomes compulsive, in large part as a result of the effects of prolonged use on brain functioning and behavior. Most people need help in order to stop this compulsive drug seeking behavior. When looking for a treatment program, it is important to keep the needs of the individual in mind in order to find a program that will best suit their needs. Treatment programs may include detoxification, inpatient or residential treatment, outpatient treatment, and aftercare or continuing care programs. The ultimate goal of all drug abuse treatment is to enable the patient to achieve lasting, drug-free recovery.
