As stated, changes occurred when we began providing treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. The “pure alcoholic” looked down on those suffering from drug and alcohol abuse as criminals, while the person suffering from drug and alcohol abuse saw the alcoholic as a low bottom drunk. The key to drug and alcohol abuse treatment was getting each to see they ended up in the same place, with similar consequences and were on the verge of becoming drug and alcohol dependent.
Drug and alcohol abuse treatment can take place in one of two settings; residential drug and alcohol abuse treatment or outpatient drug and alcohol abuse treatment. There are of course vast differences between the two drug and alcohol abuse treatment programs, each designed for different levels of drug and alcohol abuse. For example, if a person had a strong support system, still had their job, a healthy place to live and was extremely motivated then an outpatient drug and alcohol abuse treatment program may prove appropriate. If the individual is unmotivated, their consequences are escalating and they have poor support in their life, then they might benefit more from the structure and therapy a residential drug and alcohol abuse program has to offer.
