Suggested 12-step programs are Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). They offer regular meetings where members can discuss their experiences in a non-judgmental and supportive place. Cognitive behavioral therapy
Also offered to patients are one-on-one counseling sessions and cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT). When looked at through a cognitive-behavioral perspective, addictions are the result of learned behaviors developed through positive experiences. In other words, when an individual uses a substance and receives desired results (happiness, reduced stress, etc.) it may become the preferred way of attaining those results, leading to addictions. The goal of CBT is to identify the needs that the addictions are being used to meet and to develop skills and alternative ways of meeting those needs. The therapist will work with the patient to educate them on their addictions and give them the skills they need to change their cognitions and behaviors.Addicts will learn to identify and correct problematic behavior. They will be taught how to identify harmful thoughts and substance cravings. CBT is an effective treatment for addictions. Medications
Medications can be very helpful in the long-term treatment of polysubstance dependence. Medications are a useful aid in helping to prevent or reducing substance cravings. Another benefit of medications is helping to preventing relapse. Since substance use disorders affect brain functioning, medications assist in returning to normal brain functioning. People who use multiple substances require medications for each substance they use, as the current medications do not treat all substance use disorders simultaneously.
