These treatments have started in the ancient times but we have enhanced treatment styles with developed equipment. In prehistoric times they used to think that these addictions are caused due to devil ownership of our body, by which they used to treat in various types. In 19th century and early 20th century they have improved a lot from their ancient treatments. But the developed treatment was involved with eclectic shocks, strait jackets and padded rooms.

Nowadays we even cannot imagine of such kind of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. In middle of 20th century they have modernised the treatment styles and had a 12 step programmes created by unidentified alcoholics instead of electric shocks and strait jackets. As some of the rehab centres are formed to treat the patients, more doctors and physicians came to reality that treatment should be more psychological rather than physical. As they have introduced a 12 step programme patients were more comfortable attending the rehab centres for drug and alcohol addiction. In 1980's the doctors, physicians and the people have understood the different ways to get treatment and be a normal person. Physicians have suggested all the addicted persons to attend the counselling classes at the rehabilitation centres to educate the people about the harmful drugs.
