DRUG CLINICS
Drug clinics offer medical and therapeutic approaches for drug-dependent patients.
Clinics tackle addiction by discussing physical and psychological dependence in many
ways. Treatment is usually multi-faceted and comes in the form of medications
combined with therapy techniques. Therapy may be individualized or group and can
be family therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, motivational interviews, and
incentives or a mix of treatments tailored to the individual patient. Many facilities
base or include the 12-Step Model in their programs. Medications can be paired
with therapy techniques to accomplish long-term remission. Some clinics offer in-
patient service, but more often services are out-patient.
