Basic treatment principles

Are you or a loved suffering from a drug or alcohol problem? If you have answered yes, you are not alone.

The War on Drugs is being lost at an alarming rate. More and more people are falling victim to the national plague while most of the "war" is being fought to limit supply rather than deal with the demand. While it’s true that education prevention is key in dealing with substance abuse, so are effective treatment methodologies for individuals and families already ensnared by alcohol and drug addiction. Statistics prove that treatment, either through drug rehabilitation or outpatient counseling, remain the most effective route to treat alcohol abuse and substance abuse. And that's where the Addiction Hotline can help.
