In Ridgewood, New Jersey, people who attended rehab in 2016 did so because of alcohol (61%), heroin (30%), other opioids, such as oxycodone or tramadol (4%), and cocaine and crack (4%).¹ The process of quitting these substances usually involves both detoxification and treatment.

Some of the symptoms of withdrawal can be uncomfortable, and some are potentially fatal. That is why many treatment programs include and start with medical detox. At this stage:

• Medical professionals assist in monitoring and managing the process.
• Doctors often provide medications during detox, especially for withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines.

After detox, people should transition to comprehensive substance abuse treatment, which can address the underlying issues that drive substance abuse in the first place.

Treatment occurs after detox in order to address the social, emotional, and behavioral problems associated with alcohol and drug addiction.² Types of treatment programs include:

• Inpatient treatment.
• Outpatient programs.
• Individual drug counseling and group counseling.

Long-term inpatient treatment may last from 6 to 12 months. Short-term residential care can be as brief as 3 to 6 weeks.²
