Relapse Prevention
Relapse Prevention, a cognitive-behavioral therapy, was developed for the chemical dependency treatment of problem drinking and adapted later for cocaine addicts. In one study, most people receiving this cognitive-behavioral approach maintained the gains they made in dual diagnosis treatment throughout the year following addiction rehab. Cognitive-behavioral strategies are based on the theory that learning processes play a critical role in the development of maladaptive behavioral patterns. Individuals learn to identify and correct problematic behaviors. Relapse prevention encompasses several cognitive-behavioral strategies that facilitate abstinence as well as provide help for people who experience relapse.
