Addiction can be difficult for both the addict and their family members. What can be even more difficult is finding the right treatment for an individual. What is treatment? How do you know how to choose the right program? What questions should one ask a treatment provider? In this film, leading experts answer these questions and offer knowledge on evidence-based treatments (those proven effective). They detail the first steps to take to find the right program for an addict, ideally a combination of behavioral therapy and medication.
