ü  It also includes helping the patient in reducing the intense desire or craving sensation for drug.
ü  The patient can also be helped by giving certain components which if take regularly cause highly distressing reacting to intake of alcohol and thus prevents person from taking it.
Psycho-Social:
ü  It includes improving persons’ motivation to quit drug/alcohol,
ü  Helping patient to develop skills to control his behavior,
