Researchers have developed models that reflect how addictions are formed. There are four main Behavioral Models for addiction: the Moral Model (or Disease Model), Socio-Cultural Model, Psycho-dynamic Model and Socio-Cultural Model. According to the Moral Model, addiction is moral weakness. The person who is addicted is responsible. The Moral Model supports drug abuse as an option for all people, including those who are addicted. Addicts are considered to be bad characters. According to the Disease Model, substance abuse can be described as a chronic, relapsing condition that causes brain damage. The neurobiological aspects of addiction have been subject to mixed research. It is the only possible treatment option. Socio-Cultural Modell tries to explain why some populations are more prone to substance abuse than other. It addresses how marginalized communities are more susceptible to addiction through discrimination and poor quality of living, lack of opportunity, and other issues. Psycho-Dynamics considers mental illness and trauma to be precursors to addiction. Many rehab centers specialize in treating "co-occurring disorders", which are substance abuse disorders that occur alongside a mental illness.
The detox will provide appropriate medication that can be used to ease withdrawal symptoms. Although withdrawal symptoms can't be prevented completely, there are medications that can help alleviate anxiety and depression as well as provide enough sleep to counter any other problems.

Drug rehabilitation is a subjective field that defines recovery. As such, there aren't any standards for measuring success. Betty Ford Institute defines recovery as the attainment of complete abstinence, as well as personal well being. However, other studies have used "near" abstinence to define it. This wide variety of meanings makes it difficult to select rehabilitation programs.
