What Is Chemical Dependency Treatment?
Before healing can happen, an individual has to first acknowledge that there is a problem before they can address it. If they don’t see the problem, they can’t fix the problem. Once acceptance is reached, an assessment is performed to determine the individual’s drug of choice and their history of substance abuse. This information is used to design a personalized treatment plan that best fits the needs of the individual. If there are underlying mental health issues, the assessment will note them so they can be addressed as well.
