Principles of Addiction Treatment85

Principles of effective treatment (1)1. NO single treatment is APPROPRIATE FOR ALL2. Treatment needs to be READILY AVAILABLE3. Effective treatment attends to MULTIPLE NEEDS,not just to drug use problems4. The treatment plan must be ASSESSEDCONTINUALLY and MODIFIED AS NECESSARY toinsure that it meets the client’s changing needs5. Remaining in treatment for an ADEQUATE PERIODOF TIME is critical for treatment effectiveness.Continued86

Principles of effective treatment (2)6.Counselling (individual and/or group) and otherbehavioural therapies are CRITICAL7.Medications are IMPORTANT elements oftreatment for many clients, especially whencombined with behavioural therapy8.People with coexisting mental disorders shouldbe treated in AN INTEGRATED way9.Detoxification is only the FIRST STAGE ofaddiction treatment and by itself does little tochange long-term drug use.Continued87

Principles of effective treatment (3)10. Treatment does NOT need to be voluntary to beeffective11. Possible drug use during treatment must beMONITORED continuously12. Treatment programs should provide assessmentfor HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases aswell as counselling to help clients changebehaviours that place themselves or others atrisk of infection13. Recovering from drug addiction can be a LONGTERM PROCESS and frequently requiresmultiple episodes of treatment88
