Individual Drug Counseling

摘要

This manual is intended as a guide for the individual treatment of cocaine addiction by addiction counselors. The counseling model described here was developed originally for use in the Collaborative Cocaine Treatment Study (Mercer and Woody 1992) sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This model was based on the counseling in the outpatient, drug-free program in the Addiction Recovery Unit and in the methadone maintenance program (Woody et al. 1977), which are both part of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Twelve-step philosophy and participation is a central component of the model. Additionally, we have drawn upon the ideas of many clinicians and theorists in this area, including Alan Marlatt (Marlatt and Gordon 1985), Terrence Gorski (Gorski and Miller 1982), Dennis Daley (1986, 1988, 1993), and Arnold Washton (1990a, 1990b, 1990c). This individual counseling model can be viewed as a component within a comprehensive outpatient treatment program for cocaine addiction. Alternatively, the model can be offered independently of other treatments, and referrals can be made for any additional services as needed.
