(PDF Download) Clinical Guidelines for Implementing Relapse Prevention Therapy

Relapse Prevention, a cognitive-behavioral therapy, was developed for the treatment of problem drinking and adapted later for cocaine addicts. Cognitive-behavioral strategies are based on the theory that learning processes play a critical role in the development of maladaptive behavioral patterns. In Relapse Prevention Therapy, individuals learn to identify and correct problematic behaviors. RPT encompasses several cognitive-behavioral strategies that facilitate abstinence as well as provide help for people who experience relapse.
