[Cognitive-behavioral therapy for alcohol and drug use disorders].
OBJECTIVE
Cognitive-behavioral therapies have been successfully used to treat addiction. This article is in part a review on addiction models such as relapse prevention by Marlatt & Gordon, stages of change by Prochaska, DiClemente & Norcross, deriving from motivational interview, developed by Miller & Rollnick, as well as the cognitive models by Beck et al.


METHODS
Based on literature evidence for the development of effective treatment programs, we report on a group treatment model used in a group of alcoholics referred by the Department of Worker's Health Surveillance at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro to the Alcoholism Rehabilitation and Research Center.


RESULTS
Results are presented indicating that this type of treatment could be one alternative to others treatments in use.


CONCLUSIONS
New research is needed to better validate cognitive-behavioral approach to alcohol and drug problems.
