For alcoholics and drug addicts the most widely
recommended treatment approach is total abstinence
and the 12-step program. Because psychological illnesses
and traumas may also underlie many addictions, treatment
by mental health practitioners can be an important
part of the process. For the best chances of success,
these elements should be complemented with specific
holistic approaches together with general attention
to exercise, nutrition, relaxation and stress reduction.
Understanding the nature of addiction is important
and may be facilitated by reading
"Addiction
is a Brain Disease."
