Individuals want to know about the centre’s success rate and the types of therapy used. They often ask, “How long does treatment take?” and “Can addiction be cured completely?”
Treatment duration varies based on the severity of the addiction and individual response. While the “golden period” is often cited as 3-6 months, long-term success depends on a sustained commitment to recovery and strong relapse prevention skills. Addiction is a chronic disease, so the goal is management and sustained sobriety, not a quick, complete “cure.” Effective programs use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and the 12-step model, along with holistic treatments like yoga and meditation.
