Drug Rehab

Last reviewed 2026-08-01

Drug rehab refers to structured treatment for dependence on substances other than alcohol — including opioids, stimulants, and other controlled substances. Programs typically combine medical support (especially for opioid withdrawal, which can require medication-assisted treatment) with individual and group therapy.

Levels of care

Drug rehab spans a range: medical detox, inpatient/residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient counseling. The right starting point depends on the substance, duration of use, and any co-occurring medical or mental health conditions.

Medication-assisted treatment

For opioid use disorder specifically, FDA-approved medications (such as buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone) combined with counseling are considered the clinical standard of care — not a lesser alternative to abstinence-only treatment.
