I have been working in the addictions field for the past eleven years and have seen treatment evolve over that time. There is an increasing understanding of the importance of recognising underlying issues that can drive the addiction such as anxiety and depression, grief and loss and attachments, and the acknowledgment that they need to be explored and treated. I see the Addiction Treatment Programme as offering the patients a safe and supportive environment to educate themselves on their addictive processes and to learn important coping strategies. The programme also emphasises where and how to gain support moving forward, with a continuing care plan.
