the intensity of therapy appropriate throughout each stage of recovery,
from extended
residential care to lifetime aftercare services. The individual program
should incorporate leading forms of therapy that have proven effective
in addressing underlying causes of prescription drug use, dual diagnosis
and issues with family, employers, school and the legal system.
They should work with patients individually as well as in group sessions
and a Family Program after any necessary detoxification. Emphasis
