Because of the different forms and stages of addiction, there are many types of treatment processes. Each process needs to be personalized to the participants and supported by family and friends, or staff. Rehab is not a cure, but more of a milestone to help people towards recovery. If a rehabilitation center is a good fit for the participant, the participant is more likely to stick with the treatment. When a participant sticks with treatment, rehabilitation is more probable to be reached. If the patient rehabilitates, the treatment has broken the harmful bond between the patient and the addicting substance or activity. The broken bond prevents more lose, especially if replaced with more healthier bonds such as companionship.
