"There is no single most common treatment for drug abuse. Drug use is also difficult to treat, but can be reduced with comprehensive care that addresses addiction and substance use disorder. A number of effective treatment options are used to treat drug-dependent patients as well as patients who use alcohol or other illicit drugs. Drug abuse typically responds well to short- and long-term behavioral therapy. Injection drug users can benefit from long-term care provided by medical and social services as well as psychotherapy. Psychiatric evaluations can offer treatment options for patients who also have co-occurring psychiatric problems. Some patients can make progress in therapy, and often relapse, requiring ongoing treatment with behavioral therapies and/or medication." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"rti generally restores or maintains the normal function of the drug-exposed kidney, which is the main organ for renal dysfunction in patients with acute drug use or dependence and is also affected by adverse drug reactions.

It is important to consider possible adverse drug reactions when initiating rti to treat drug dependence or use disorders when patients present with a mild degree of renal impairment." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"rti was as effective as in-person treatment in terms of quality of life, mental well-being and health-related functioning.
