Therapies

Therapy often decreases in frequency and duration as a person learns to cope with the causes of his or her addiction and to handle life’s stressors. However, many experts believe a person never fully recovers from addiction. People who experience a traumatic event or increased stress should turn to therapy to decrease the chances of relapse.

Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Different approaches are more appropriate and effective for different people, depending on their age, type of addiction and the factors that contributed to their addiction.
