There is increasing evidence that emotion regulation is important in treating substance abuse. Considering that nicotine and other psychoactive substances such as cocaine activate similar psycho-pharmacological pathways, an emotion regulation approach may be applicable to a wide array of substance use. Models of effect-driven tobacco use have focused on the role of negative reinforcement in driving addiction. They suggest that smoking is used as a way to avoid the unpleasant effects of nicotine withdrawal and other negative moods. Acceptance-and-commitment therapy (ACT) is proving to be effective in treating substance abuse, including tobacco smoking and polysubstance use disorder. Mindfulness programs that help patients be more aware of the present moment and any emotions that may arise from thoughts can prevent compulsive/impulsive behavior. Studies also show that mindfulness programs may reduce the use of substances like alcohol, cocaine and other stimulants, such as marijuana, cigarettes, or opiates.

You may not be able to use all the drugs doctors prescribe for detox at home. People who detox at their own expense (and don’t follow the appropriate substance abuse treatment programs) may be more inclined to relapse. Relapsed addicts are also at greater risk for overdose. Your body won't tolerate the same amount of drug once it's out of your system.

Integral Theory is the basis of the Recovery Model. This four-part approach focuses on the individual, the collective, and individual and external factors. Integral theory has four quadrants which correspond with each other. These are Consciousness Behavior Culture Systems and Systems. Quadrant One addresses the neurological side of addiction. Quadrant Two works on building self-esteem. Quadrant three is about repairing the "eroded relations" that result from active addiction. Quadrant four involves dealing with the consequences of drug abuse, such as unemployment, legal disputes, and eviction. Integral theory seeks to end the dichotomy "using" versus "not using", and instead focuses more on mental, spiritual, or emotional growth.
