Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT): This manual introduces counselors to concepts that are needed to understand the family as a vital context within which adolescent drug abuse occurs. It also describes strategies for creating a therapeutic relationship with families, assessing and diagnosing maladaptive patterns of family interaction, and changing patterns of family interaction from maladaptive to adaptive. This manual assumes that therapists who adopt these BSFT techniques will be able to engage and retain families in drug abuse treatment and ultimately cause them to behave more effectively.

A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach: Treating Cocaine Addiction: This manual demonstrates cognitive-behavioral coping skills treatment (CBT) as a short-term, focused approach to helping cocaine-dependent individuals become abstinent from cocaine and other substances. The underlying assumption is that learning processes play an important role in the development and continuation of cocaine abuse and dependence. These same learning processes can be used to help individuals reduce their drug use. http://www.drugabuse.gov/TXManuals/CBT/CBT1.html
A Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA): Treating Cocaine Addiction: This treatment manual integrates a community reinforcement approach (CRA), originally developed as an effective treatment for alcohol dependence (Myers and Smith 1995), with an incentive program (Vouchers) wherein patients can earn points exchangeable for retail items by remaining in treatment and cocaine abstinent. This multi-component treatment as a whole and several of its components have been demonstrated to be efficacious in controlled clinical trials conducted with cocaine-dependent adults in outpatient clinics. Its applicability to younger individuals and in other settings has not been tested. NIDA.

An Individual Drug Counseling Approach to Treat Cocaine Addiction:
The Collaborative Cocaine Treatment Study Model: This manual is intended as a guide for the individual treatment of cocaine addiction by addiction counselors. 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. 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. NIDA.

The Matrix Model: This model of outpatient treatment was developed during the 1980s in response to an overwhelming demand for stimulant abuse treatment services. The intent was to create an outpatient model responsive to the needs of stimulant-abusing patients while constructing a replicable protocol that could be evaluated. Treatment materials draw heavily upon published literature pertaining to the areas of relapse prevention (Marlatt and Gordon,1985), family and group therapies, drug education, self help participation and drug abuse monitoring.

Pharmacological Interventions: Naltrexone: This site, New Approaches Seek To Expand Naltrexone Use in Heroin Treatment, provides an overview and resource on Naltrexone. Naltrexone, an opiate treatment medication, is used to help patients make the transition from illicit opiate use to a drug-free life. The medication provides a safety net for patients because it blocks the euphoric effects they normally would feel if they slip and use heroin or any other opiate.

Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs): TIPS are best practice guidelines for the treatment of substance abuse. While each TIP strives to include an evidence base for the practices it recommends, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) recognizes that the field of substance abuse treatment is evolving, and research frequently lags behind the innovations pioneered in the field. A major goal of each TIP is to convey "front-line" information quickly but responsibly. This site offers links to the entire set of TIPs.
