There are many chemicals that people become addicted to: alcohol, and prescription medications, or illegal drugs like cocaine, heroin, or meth. When you start looking for an addiction treatment or rehabilitation center, each center may emphasize that they specialize in treating alcohol addiction, or cocaine addition, or some other drug entirely. This specialization doesn't mean there are different treatments for each addiction; it means that that facility focuses on patients with that addiction. That way when the patient goes through the therapies needed to beat addiction, he or she will not feel alone or guilty about their addiction and see that other people with the same problem are getting help for it as well. Having a patient population which has experienced addiction to the same chemical increases the likelihood of beating addiction, preventing relapse, and maintaining a healthy, drug-free, lifestyle

All medically-based treatment for addiction includes three distinct phases; detoxification (detox), psychological diagnosis and treatment, and integration therapy. Detox is the phase that generally concerns the person with an addiction the most. Anyone with an addiction knows that their body experiences withdrawal symptoms when the level of drug in their body starts to drop. In some cases these symptoms are quite dramatic and uncomfortable, involving seizures or hallucinations. Given a choice between dealing with the symptoms or getting more of the drug, they get the drug, regardless of what it takes. This is the cycle of addiction: This is what drives addicts to venture into risky behavior, criminal activity, and risk contracting diseases like hepatitis, HIV, and AIDS.

A person who has had a chemical addiction over a long period of time will likely resist entering an alcohol or drug addiction treatment center on a voluntary basis. Intervention is a process designed to make the addict aware of the dangerous consequences of their addiction and obtain their consent for entry into a drug treatment and rehabilitation program. It's best to get professional advice from the family physician or an addiction treatment center before intervention to have the best chance of a successful result.
