1. Detox
They bring the drug addicts in and stick them in
a detox area.  This resembles a hospital ward and
has medical staffing.  Some drugs (including
alcohol) are somewhat dangerous to detox from,
while others are pretty much safe to withdrawal
from but can be extremely uncomfortable (such as
heroin or other opiates).  There are a few drugs
(such as Cocaine and Marijuana) that do not
require detox at all.

2. Residential
This is where you spend a few weeks up to 28 days
staying in an inpatient setting, usually
attending groups, lectures, group therapy
sessions and also a therapist or counselor who
will generally be matched up with each individual
client.  This is also where you would be exposed
to the drug rehab centers recovery philosophy,
such as the 12 step model.  Not all rehabs use
the 12 step model but probably at least 90
percent of them do.

3. Aftercare
What happens when an addict leaves treatment? 
They need some form of aftercare if they are
going to have a real chance at staying clean. 
Depending on the individual, their funding, and
their goals, they might end up with a variety of
different aftercare plans.  For example, they
might end up going to outpatient treatment after
leaving rehab, or they might go to a long term
drug rehab clinic where they live for several
months.  Others might attend meetings or follow
up with regular counseling sessions.

4. Medication
In some cases, prescribed medication is becoming
a bigger and bigger part of fighting addiction. 
For example, some alcoholics take a pill now that
helps to reduce alcohol cravings (Campral), or
opiate addicts might take a maintenance drug to
help them stay off of street drugs like heroin
(such as Suboxone).  There are other medications
currently being developed and tested for use with
other chemical addictions.
