Abstinence and relapse in outpatient cocaine addicts.
A discussion is provided of clinical techniques for establishing abstinence and preventing relapse in cocaine addicts within the context of an intensive outpatient treatment program. A basic tenet of this article is that to produce higher success rates in these and other drug-dependent patients more attention must be paid to some very fundamental treatment issues, such as program structure, counselor attitude, and patient motivation.
