Definición

  • Substance abuse treatment providers commonly employ counseling interventions (i.e., individual therapy, group and family therapy, contingency management, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention) when helping patients achieve and maintain sobriety. For patients who abuse substances but who do not show signs of physiological dependence to a substance (i.e., tolerance, withdrawal), these treatment strategies are often employed independently.
