Counseling can help people who are unable to stop using drugs and teach them to change their behavior. There are medications that can be added to the treatment plan for some drugs (including tobacco, alcohol, heroin, or opioid pain relievers). Treatment varies for each person, depending on the type of drug(s) being used and the person’s specific situation.
