It is generally based on frequent counseling in a small support group or privately. Those addicts who strongly want to get off their addiction and are not heavily into drugs yet, generally opt for this method.

* There is short term-residential program. These programs are generally for 3 to 6 weeks, which is followed by the presence and counseling of support groups like Narcotics Anonymous. This program is very effective but a lot depends on the person's desire to recover.

The patient is orally given doses of substances like Methadone so that his cravings for the drug are reduced. Once the cravings are reduced, he is counseled along with his family and friends group support.

* There are residential therapeutic treatment options for patients who have a long history of taking drugs and also have a criminal history. This treatment is recommended for patients with a severe problem. The patients have to stay in the center for up to 1 year. Methadone drug is administered regularly till they become stable.
