MORE TREATMENTS FOR SUBSTANCE ADDICTS
 Inpatient and outpatient services
 A simple example of inpatient treatment is the detox process. The effective treatment method is
usually administered in most residential treatment centers and hospitals. But it should be known
that the process will yield a better result when the patient is regularly monitored and evaluated
for a complete isolation of the addictive substance.
 Outpatient services, on the other hand, are performed in private in many mental health care
centers and facilities or addiction treatment centers. But this may be inefficient because the
patient is hardly monitored or evaluated as often as expected due to other commitments
outside the treatment routine. To achieve a result-oriented outpatient support treatment, a
treatment strategy has to be implemented and relapse should be considered. This will ensure
that the patient is weaned from the drug with or without surveillance.
 Nutrition

From studies, most addicts lack comprehensive and nourishing diets in their system. This has
been noticed in cigarette, alcohol, and drug addicts. In fact, bad nutrition is one of the tell-tale
signs and symptoms of addiction. Good nutrition goes a long way in restoring brain power,
improving general body fitness and condition, and stamina. In other cases, supplements are
combined with these diets especially if the addiction is quite intense.
