Drug abuse can severely inhibit the life of a drug abuse addict and their families, friends, and loved ones within their social circles. Drug abuse can start at the tender ages of twelve years old or even young in more severe cases. Fortunately, there are drug abuse treatments within centers and plans that help drug addicts regain their life and control of their actions by offering them detox of the body, soul, and mind within the context of a safe environment and caring individuals. Many methods are used to help an addict detoxify their life. Some treatment includes mental and physical assessments, detox, individual therapy, group therapy, support groups, and residential and outpatient treatment programs.

1. Mental Assessment

An addiction assessment is utilized to devise a unique and long-term plan for the person suffering from addiction. The patient's medical and mental conditions are evaluated with a mental assessment, as well as any past responses to treatment. Assessing the patient's medical conditions, mental health issue, and substance abuse history can help paint a complete and efficient treatment plan, medically based, that will serve the individual needs of the patient.The assessment will show to what extent the addiction has risen, and whether there are any co-existing medical conditions. The types of assessments vary, and they may come in the form of medical or self-assessment questionnaires and physical exams, also known as physical assessments. The effects that the drug has had on one's life is examined, as open-ended questions are asked to provide a proper diagnosis. The information provided by the person suffering is strictly confidential.Next
