What are the most dangerous drugs to be addicted to?
ALL substances pose their own risks and none are safe. Some pose more challenges than others when it comes to treatment and sustained abstinence. During the “detox” phase of treatment specialist medical input may be needed depending on the type of substance the client is dependent on. Clinically, clients dependent on GHB/GBL, benzodiazepines, alcohol and Ketamine are those who require the closet of monitoring. However, that is not to say that those dependent on other substances do not require close monitoring. Clients dependent on cocaine, for example, rarely require medical input but often require very intense psychosocial support.

Can I not just stop taking the addictive substance and get help at home?

Are different dependencies treated in different ways?
In short, when it comes to therapy? YES! Whatever led a client to enter treatment, the process is the same. As soon as a person, who goes into residential treatment, is physically able to attend therapy, their treatment begins.
