The primary goal of treatment is detoxification (abstaining from the substance). Generally, detoxification involves gradually reducing the dose of the substance or the temporary substitution of a drug that has less severe withdrawal symptoms.

The substitute medication, if consumed, will also be reduced gradually. According to the severity of dependence and other factors (history of heart disease or lung, liver failure, high blood pressure, age over 65 years) may require that detoxification is done in the hospital.

Once a person has left depressants, you can begin receiving counseling or psychotherapy to help you identify emotional problems that led to consumption or substance abuse. To prevent relapse, some patients may benefit from 12-step program or other recovery programs.

Treatment is adapted to the needs of the person. In addition to receiving counseling or psychotherapy, there may be drugs available to help reduce anxiety, depression or other mental disorder.
