Addiction is treated with approaches tailored to the substance or behavior and the individual. Treatment may include behavioral therapies, counseling, peer and social support, and medications for certain substance use disorders. Medical care may also help manage withdrawal and co-occurring conditions. Because addiction can be chronic and recurring, long-term follow-up and adjustments to treatment are often important.
