TREATMENT

The treatment for an addict is an extremely complicated process, as much as for the addict himself and for the family members and friends. The treatment is a process that requires a large amount of conversation, psychological and medical assistance, it is something that the addict cannot accomplish by himself; only with the help of friends and family members. In more serious cases, the commitment of the patient may be necessary. The commitment of a chemical addict is something that should be analyzed very carefully. First of all, it must be considered that these types of treatments present a success rate of 30 to 40% in clinics and hospitals that present good services. Committing a patient should be the last resource, only used when all else has failed. To commit him against his will can only be considered if the patient is endangering his or her own life or the life of those surrounding him. Many times families commit their children only to rid themselves of the problem. All over the world, there are excellent hospital and clinics with serious and reliable treatments, being that some serve as a reference everywhere else.
