How To Recover From The Drug Abuse?

Hello, I have a 45 yr old nephew who has off & on drug usage problems. Lies continually, thinks more of himself than most others do. Currently homeless but I m helping him with a detox program that he requested and he is staying with me. Seems to believe his lies or it doesn t bother him to lie. Any ideas?

HI THANKS FOR POSTING YOUR QUERY ON HEALTH CARE MAGIC.

DRUG ABUSE SHOULD DEALT CAREFULLY.

MULTI DISCIPLINARY APPROACH IS NEEDED
.BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY IS MOST HELPFUL. OTHERS INCLUDE
COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY,
MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING,
MULTI DIMENSIONAL FAMILY THERAPY HELPS A LOT.

CONSULT AN EXPERT DEADDICTION CENTER FOR FURTHER MANAGEMENT.
