There are many different types of approaches to addiction treatment available today. The most popular is 12 step group therapy where people who have had different experiences being addicted to substances will take turns talking and listening to each other about their problems. Many rehab facilities also employ psychiatrists who have studied addiction and the affects it has on the individual and their family members and the reasons that they are unable to quit getting intoxicated. Some programs use a holistic approach, which means they deal with the addict as a whole and try to get them back to the best physical, mental and emotional state possible.
