Addiction treatment is effective and recovery is possible, however, addiction treatment is not a quick fix. The true nature of addiction treatment is long-term and relapse is common. In fact, relapse rates for drug addiction are similar to relapse rates for treating chronic conditions such as type 1 diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. Addiction treatment does not always involve going to a residential facility. Residential treatment may not be the appropriate treatment choice, or there may be specific criteria that not everyone would meet. Some facilities, for example, do not allow pharmacological treatment. Waitlist times may be burdensome, and people may be forced to consider private residential treatment, which is very expensive. Treatment usually involves changes beyond addressing the substance use and can be undertaken while the person is working or going to school. A person can seek treatment at any time and does not necessarily have to “hit rock bottom” first. In fact, the earlier a person seeks treatment, the better the outcome.
