What are the most effective ways of overcoming drug addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug Program: Best way is to not do it alone! depending on the extent of use and complications, intensive outpatient drug programming might be a start, along with individual counseling. 12 step groups are excellent supports. Psychiatric evaluation to check for any other mental health conditions which could slow recovery. Sometimes inpatient rehab stay is better, again depending on psychiatry assessment.
