Researchers have many models. 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 of addiction, addiction is an act of moral weakness. It is also believed that the individual responsible for their addiction 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. Substance abuse is defined as a 'chronic relapsing illness that affects the structure or function of the brain' according to the Disease Model. 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 examines how people can become addicted to substance abuse through discrimination, poor quality life, lack opportunities, and other factors that are common in marginalized communities. Psycho-Dynamic model considers mental illness and trauma as the precursor to addiction. Many rehab centers specialize in treating "co-occurring disorders", which are substance abuse disorders that occur alongside a mental illness.

In drug rehabilitation, the definition of "recovery" is still subjective. There are no established standards for measuring it.
