Researchers have developed models that reflect how addictions are formed. There are four main Behavioral Models to addiction. These models include the Moral Model. Sociocultural Model. Socio-Cultural Model. Psycho-dynamic Model. The Moral Model of Addiction holds that addiction is a result of moral weakness. The Moral Model supports drug abuse as an option for all people, including those who are addicted. Addicts are considered to be bad characters. Substance abuse is defined as a 'chronic relapsing illness that affects the structure or function of the brain' according to the Disease Model. Research on the neurobiological causes of addiction has produced mixed results. The only treatment is abstinence. Sociocultural Model attempts to explain how certain populations are more likely to abuse substances than others. It addresses how marginalized communities are more susceptible to addiction through discrimination and poor quality of living, lack of opportunity, and other issues. Psycho-Dynamic modeling considers trauma and mental illness as precursors to addiction. Many rehabilitation centers deal with "co-occurring", or substance abuse disorder and mental illness.
Many rehab programs are priced differently. Some programs can be free, while others require a community or government grant. Others may cost more. Many drug treatment facilities are accessible and free to some clients. Some communities also offer counseling and rehab drug treatment for free. These programs are usually offered at outpatient drug rehab facilities.
For people with difficult dual diagnoses, such addiction or bipolar disorder (or both), long-term drug rehabilitation programs might be a good option. A longer program may be more appealing to some people who feel they are better off with the additional insurance.
Intensive outpatient treatment - The intensive outpatient (IOP), is a lower level of care than the residential treatment program. IOP participants attend sessions and will return home each night.
Some inpatient detox programs offer peer support and medical care. Others include medical monitoring that includes 24/7 access by nurses and doctors.

Because there are no standard measures for measuring recovery, recovery definitions can be subjective. Betty Ford Institute defines recovery as the attainment of complete abstinence, as well as personal well being. However, other studies have used "near" abstinence to define it. This wide variety of meanings makes it difficult to select rehabilitation programs.
Methadone and buprenorphine, along with more buprenorphine, are used widely to treat addictions and dependence on opioids like heroin, morphine and oxycodone. Methadone or buprenorphine can be used as maintenance therapies to decrease cravings for opiates. This is in keeping with harm reduction's philosophy. These drugs can be used for maintenance (taken for an indefinite amount of time) or as detoxification aids. All available studies collected in the 2005 Australian National Evaluation of Pharmacotherapies for Opioid Dependence suggest that maintenance treatment is preferable, with very high rates (79-100%) of relapse within three months of detoxification from levo-a-acetylmethadol (LAAM), buprenorphine, and methadone.
Many addiction treatment options have been successful. They are often combined.
Many times, medications used for detox are designed to mimic the effects and reduce withdrawal symptoms. You may also need medication to treat co-occurring conditions or general discomfort.
