Aggressiveness, irritability and forgetfulness constitute substance abuse symptoms. Doctors recommend community resources for the patients willing to quit the substance abuse. During this process doctors may also prescribe certain medications that help control the cravings and manage the medical complications resulting from the substance abuse. As a part of education the patients are recommended to seek immediate medical care if they experience these symptoms.

Currently, with the increasing use of illicit drugs, leading to increased number of deaths and healthcare costs.

Furthermore, management of increasing addiction and abuse to nicotine, alcohol and illicit prescription drugs costs around USD 700 billion for the Americans every year.

Several research studies identified that combination of behavioral therapy along with medications ensures best mode of treating the patients. This is necessary as long term use of drugs alters the brain function and enhances the compulsions to use the drugs. Hence, prevention of relapse is one of the most important components of substance abuse treatment.

Behavioral therapy enables the patient to cope up with the drug cravings and avoid relapse. Medications such as Methadone and nicotine patches assist in controlling the withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. Medical treatment is necessary as drug users are observed to have an underlying medical disorder which must be treated along with the drug abuse treatment.

The market for substance abuse therapeutics can be segmented into alcohol, nicotine dependence therapeutics and drug abuse therapeutics. For instance, Chantix (vareniciline) and zyban represents the medications prescribed against nicotine addiction. In addition, Vivitrol (naltrexone), Campral (acamprosate calcium) and disulfrum are some of the drugs recommended for the patients suffering from alcohol dependence. Cocaine and opioid abuse are some of the drug abuse therapeutics.
