Primary rehabilitation refers to the initial stage of addiction treatment, where the primary goal is to detoxify the individual from drugs or alcohol and stabilize their physical and mental health. On the other hand, secondary addiction treatment refers to the ongoing recovery process after the primary rehabilitation phase. This stage involves deeper therapeutic interventions such as behavioral therapy, group therapy, and life skills training to address the underlying causes of addiction and equip the individual with tools to maintain long-term sobriety. Both primary and secondary addiction treatment play critical roles in the recovery journey and should be approached with a comprehensive and individualized approach to optimize outcomes.
