- Inpatient treatment: This is the most intensive form of treatment. You will live in a treatment center for a period of time, where you will receive counseling, therapy, and medication.
- Outpatient treatment: This is a less intensive form of treatment. You will see a therapist or counselor on a regular basis, but you will not live in a treatment center.
- 12-step programs: 12-step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, can provide support and guidance to people in recovery.
In addition to treatment, it is also important to build a strong support network of people who can help you stay sober. This could include family members, friends, a therapist, or a sponsor from a 12-step program.
