Which Things Matter Most in Addiction Treatment?

Our Rehab Mission at the Canadian Centre for Addictions

There are several factors to consider and multiple options available regarding drug addiction treatment. Every person dealing with drug addiction has a unique situation, and their treatment specialists will have to devise treatment goals most appropriate for their situation.

The type of addiction, the length and severity of the addiction, as well as its effects on the individual and those around them, are some factors specialists will consider when drawing up an addiction treatment plan. Available treatment options include inpatient and outpatient treatment, but it’s necessary first to determine the level of care an addict requires. Some patients may want to stop using their substance of choice completely, while others decide to reduce or manage their drug consumption.

Some treatment strategies aim to find and resolve underlying emotional issues that may be fueling addiction with a view to finding healthier coping strategies that do not involve drugs. Drug addiction is often the result of genetic, psychological, and environmental or social reasons, so an addiction treatment plan must be holistic to offer the individual the best shot at recovery. Learn about the treatment of drug addiction with the Canadian Centre for Addictions and the options available to you or a loved one dealing with addiction.

Addiction Risk Factors

There is no single reason why people become addicted to drugs. But an individual’s susceptibility to addiction will typically arise from one or more of the following factors:

Addiction Risk Factors
  • 1Genetics

    Research suggests that addiction is heritable and that genetic factors play a role in addiction development. People with family members who struggle with addiction are more likely to develop an addiction later in life. 

  • 2Environmental conditions

    A person’s environmental conditions can also play a role in their drug addiction. Young people who grow up in unstable homes or were exposed to drugs early have a higher risk of becoming drug addicts. Peer pressure and a community’s seeming acceptance of drug abuse can also increase a person’s likelihood of drug addiction.

  • 3Psychological factors

    Individuals with past traumatic experiences may struggle with emotional difficulties that could push them to drugs. Past physical, emotional, or sexual abuse may also see individuals turn to drugs as a coping mechanism. Individuals with mental health conditions may also try to manage their symptoms by self-medicating with drugs, putting them at risk of drug addiction.

    FAQs

    What is the best form of treatment for addiction?

    What is the first step in the treatment process for addiction?
