Vary. Short-term treatment programs can include residential treatment, medication therapy, or drug-free outpatient therapy. Long-term programs (longer than six months) may include highly structured residential therapeutic community treatment or, in the case of heroin users, methadone maintenance outpatient treatment. Research conducted during the past 25 years indicates that treatment does work to reduce drug intake and drug-related crimes. Patients who stay in treatment longer than three months have better outcomes than do people who undergo shorter treatments.
