What is Evidence Based Treatment

Within the addiction treatment community, there are several ways to approach the treatment of addictions. In recent years, many top addiction treatment centers have shifted towards evidence-based treatment options. Evidence-based therapy is one that has gone through scientific research and testing. If the results come back consistent and in support of the base theory, science organizations will publish the results. Literally, the treatment method has the support of the evidence.

Evidence-Based Therapy

When addiction treatment specialists decide to use an evidence-based treatment option, they have several different options from which to choose. The objective of said treatment is to look closely at patient behavior patterns and then find ways to make adjustments. Here’s a list of the most prominent evidence-based therapy options:

12-Step Facilitation Therapy

Individual and group counseling built around concepts from 12 Step programs.

The Benefits of Evidence-Based Treatment

When a client enters one of our evidence-based treatment centers in Illinois, the resident’s situation could be dire. A big part of successfully treating addiction is having the tools necessary to do so. At our Gateway evidence-based treatment centers in Illinois, we prefer progressive treatment methods. When we put a resident through an evidence-based therapy program, we aim to help them understand the nature of their behaviors. That creates the basis for helping them then modify said behaviors. If the evidence-based treatment process is on target, the resident will leave rehab with the tools necessary to avoid relapses.
