The correct answer is; d. helping her maintain a state of remission

At first, the addicted patient goes through the process of detoxification and being treated from the addicted substance. Then they go through a recovery process, to improve the quality of life and address the biological as well as psychological issues. Along with recover, many patients are in remission state, which is a state of wellness where the addiction signs and symptoms are absent.
