And the last stage is dependence. He can no longer thrive or survive without drugs, yet he denies having the problem. His physical condition gets worse by the day. He loses control over the use of the drug itself. He can turn suicidal and financially broke. He may be confronting legal consequences for the use. Ties with his family and friends may break at this point (University of Maryland Medical Center). Treatment includes comprehensive residential programs to monitor and address possible withdrawal symptoms and probable unpleasant behaviors (University of Maryland Medical Center 2008). They consist of behavior modification methods, aimed at getting the user to recognize his behavior. They also include counseling for both the user and his family, held individually and as a group. The programs are usually long-standing and persist long after the user is released from the facility. These programs are also designed to provide peer support. Drug addiction must be understood as a serious and complicated condition, which calls for collaborative physiological and psychological treatment and support. A trained professional should evaluate the user's condition and decide on an appropriate care program (University of Maryland Medical Center).

The user can also take steps in self-rehabilitation (Turney 2002). He can perform exercise. Regular exercise has been shown to break tension and depression. Jogging, especially, has been shown to be of value to anxiety and panic. Exercise also improves body metabolism, which can help eliminate the removal of PCP products from the body. He can also modify his drink at least 8 glasses a day. He should likewise engage in a renewed program of rest and relaxation, rather than the blast of rock and roll. He should learn how to take things easy and accept that he has been through something rough and really serious. He should accept that he needs space to adjust and bring his life back together. Most importantly, he should decide on what he intends to become at this point and begin doing things that will make this happen (Turney).
