Inpatient or outpatient
Short Term
Quick-relief medicines (also called rescue medicines or fastacting medicines) work immediately to relieve asthma
symptoms when they happen. They're often inhaled directly into
the lungs, where they open up the airways and relieve
symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath,
often within minutes.
Long Term
Co-Occurring
At one time, treatment for drug or alcohol addiction was considered to be separate from treatment for mental health disorders, and
care was delivered at different facilities using radically different therapeutic approaches.

individual session
Group Session
The natural propensity of human beings to congregate makes
group therapy a powerful therapeutic tool for treating
substance abuse, one that is as helpful as individual therapy,
and sometimes more successful. One reason for this efficacy is
that groups intrinsically have many rewarding benefitssuch as
reducing isolation and enabling members to witness the
recovery of othersand these qualities draw clients into a
culture of recovery.
This chapter adopts a program perspective to examine both
outpatient and residential settings, highlighting promising
treatment models that have emerged both within the substance
abuse field and elsewhere. It also discusses the various
treatment approaches and models available to those working in
substance abuse settings.
Models Practiced
Is it gender specific?
The survey did note that the gender gap closes in the area of
alcohol abuse among males and females aged 12-20. In 2013, this
group experienced similar rates of alcoholism (males at 23 percent
and females at 22.5 percent). There are a host of factors
contributing to the parity in alcohol consumption, one of which may
be that alcohol is legal; therefore, there is no criminal disincentive
to use alcohol.
