There is a challenge with identifying treatment sources to address addiction issues. Addiction is not only substance use but gambling, sex, shopping, etc. So, if you believe you have an addiction, just continue searching for treatment to resolve your issues.

WHAT DOES HIGH-QUALITY ADDICTION TREATMENT LOOK LIKE?
Fast Access to Treatment

You should be able to get treatment as soon as you’re ready.

Personalized Evaluation and Treatment Plan

Treatment should consider your unique needs. One-size treatment does not fit all.

Access to Medications for Opioid or Alcohol Use Disorders

Treatment providers should work with you to find out if a medication, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), may be the best choice for treating your substance use disorder.

Effective Behavioral Therapies for Addiction

Certain behavioral health therapies—such as cognitive behavioral therapy and family behavior therapy—are proven to help manage and treat addiction effectively.

Long-term Treatment and Follow-up

Addiction treatment should include long-term management and follow-up, not just one-time treatment.

Coordinated Care for Mental and Physical Health

Your treatment plan should include treatment for other illnesses you may have, such as mental health (like depression or anxiety) and physical health conditions (like diabetes or hepatitis).

Additional Services to Support Recovery

Treatment is more successful when other circumstances also are addressed, such as housing, employment, and personal relationships.
