Alcohol and Drug rehabilitation centers are staffed with trained psychologists and life coaches who are able to help the patient understand and cope with the issues that trigger their destructive behavior. Underlying illnesses are treated with therapy and sometimes with medication; a patient is taught methods to avoid getting into a situation that would trigger their slide back towards alcoholism or drugs.
