Understanding Treatment of Drug Addiction
It has mistakenly believed that a drug addict needs to desire recovery in order to be treated for drug addiction; however recent findings suggest that pressure from friends, family, employers or the legal system on the addict to obtain treatment, improves their treatment outcomes.
This is a critical point as most family members wait around hoping that the patient will have a "moment of clarity", some significant shift, that will bring about their request for treatment.

Not everyone who tries drugs becomes an addict.
Certain people seem more susceptible to addiction than others and it may be due to a genetic predisposition. On the other hand, having an addict in the family definitely does not mean that future generations are condemned to a life of addiction.
Drug addiction treatment is a holistic approach that offers a comprehensive rehabilitation experience, healing the entire person.
Medically managed drug detoxification with appropriate (and professionally monitored) use of medication, therapy (using a multidisciplinary team of addiction treatment consultants - Doctors Social Workers, Addictions Counsellors, Psychologists, Psychiatrists) social services and even legal advice are necessary components of rehabilitation are need to be included in the effective treatment of drug addiction.
In short, the psychological causes as well as the physical consequences are dealt with.
