Node-link mapping for counseling cocaine users in methadone treatment.
Treatment engagement problems associated with cocaine-using opioid addicts were addressed using a cognitively enhanced counseling strategy. Analysis of client urines, participation, and counselor ratings of clients over a 6-month period during treatment indicated that the use of node-link mapping--a multipurpose visual representation strategy for communication--produced better results for both low and high cocaine-using opioid addicts in methadone maintenance than those treated without this enhancement.
