Addiction treatment is a complex process, and is available in a variety of settings with varying levels of intensity.  Often addiction treatment will begin with detox or detoxification (physical  removal of the drug or alcohol from the addict's  body).  After detox, the more in depth treatment usually begins with a mixure of counseling, meetings and rehabilitative structure consitent with the methodology of each addiction treatment center, whether it is holistic, christian based, alternative, 12-step or anything else.  Because addiction is so  complex, it effects not only the addict, but also the familiy of the addict, as well as those close to the addict.  In doing so, addiction becomes a family disease as opposed to an individual disease and most addiction treatment organizations incorporate family resources and counseling in their treatment program.  Not only is the family involved  in the recovery process, but sober living is typically offered once treatment is completed,  All of these elements make the path to recovery from addiction a complex, but resourceful and helpful one as well.
