Despite the fact that effectiveness varies from person to person, prolonged stays in treatment frequently yield better results, and detoxification alone is rarely helpful for long-term recovery. Holistic programs that address the patient as a whole with therapeutic protocols for mind, body, and spirit with relief from socioeconomic concerns are more beneficial instead of just countering the addiction itself.  Furthermore, a prompt and precise aftercare plan with frequent follow-ups is the cornerstone of a successful alcohol and drug treatment program.
