This would first be treated by a medical doctor to exam for possible related medical concerns and /or detox. Once that is addressed leading to therapy, I support many different theories including cognitive behavioral therapy, client focused, solution focused, among many others. It all depends on the individual's needs. I'm also a supporter of AA along with Addiction Coaching/ Companion techniques. It's all based on individual needs and comfortability.
