Relapse prevention treatment for cocaine dependence: group vs. individual format
Article Abstract:
Relapse has gained prominence as theoretically sound approach for substance-abuse treatment. Several cocaine-dependent respondence were assessed to investigate the role of treatment modality in relapse prevention treatment and to compare the effectiveness of group versus individual therapy. The study reveals that although both individual and group treatments possess certain unique features that might enhance client's response to relapse prevention, group therapy proves to be less expensive than individual therapy.
