“…The observed dropout rate in this study (56.0%) is comparable to higher dropout rates in corresponding trials for patients with SUDs (e.g., 47.7-75%; Cecilia et al 2001;Stark 1992), although it is relatively higher than those that have been found in previous CBGT trials for patients with SAD (Feske and Chambless 1995 4.4-28%).…”

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) frequently co-occurs with substance use disorders (SUDs). Although the efficacy of separate cognitive behavioral treatments for each disorder has been widely documented, there is a dearth of studies investigating treatment outcome for patients with co-existing SAD and SUDs. This paper presents preliminary data from a pilot study that investigated whether cognitive behavioral group therapy-modified to explicitly address the link between social anxiety and substance use-could lead to reductions in social anxietyrelated symptoms and improvements in affect and unrealistic alcohol expectancies in a sample of 59 patients diagnosed with co-existing SAD and SUDs. Results indicated significant reductions across treatment in social anxiety-related symptoms and negative affect, whereas no changes in positive affect or unrealistic alcohol expectancies were found. The results warrant a randomized controlled trial to explore the specificity of these effects.

“…Relapse reduction in the treatment group is consistent with previously obtained results, for example of Marlatt & George [3], looking at the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral strategy in relapse reduction, and of Marques & Formigoni [34], investigating the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in treatment and prevention of relapse in drug-dependent patients. In explaining these findings it can be said that the most critical predictor of relapse is people's capability in using an effective coping strategy when faced with high-risk situations, low self-confidence, and wrong attitudes Archives of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, 2016; 1: [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] towards substance abuse.…”

SummaryAim: To investigate the effect of cognitive restructuring training on neurocognitive functions related to the prefrontal cortex in opioid addicts and its relationship to relapse prevention. Method:Thirty opioid addicts who completed a 21-day detoxification program were randomly placed in experimental and control groups. Before and after the training, the subjects underwent urinalysis and were tested on the Addiction-Stroop Task, Iowa Gambling Task, Wisconsin Card Sorting test and Emotion Recognition Scale.Results: Decision-making and emotion recognition were improved after the training course, but no significant difference was observed in attention bias, cognitive flexibility and relapse. Conclusions:Cognitive restructuring training and improvement of some neuropsychological functions are not enough to prevent relapse, and attention bias and cognitive flexibility should be adjusted.cognitive restructuring/neurocognitive function/addiction/relapse

“…Numerous randomized controlled trials indicate that clinically significant changes in drinking behavior and related problems can follow from brief interventions (46,47). In Brazil, for instance, brief interventions have proved to be effective, although studies have focused on mixed samples of alcoholand drug-dependent clients (48)(49)(50).…”

The objectives of this article are to describe the evidence base for alcohol policy in the Americas, to Policy efforts in the developing countries of Latin America should focus on improving countermeasures against driving while intoxicated, measures that alter the drinking context, and limits on physical availability. For the developed, high-income countries of North America the goal should be to prevent deterioration of current drinking patterns and to reduce the overall volume of drinking. Given the low to moderate cost of many of the policies reviewed in this article, it now seems possible for communities and nations to substantially reduce the alcohol-related burden of illness in the Americas.Alcohol drinking, alcoholic intoxication, evidence-based medicine, policy making, Americas. ABSTRACTAlcohol policy is broadly defined as any purposeful effort on the part of governments or nongovernment groups to minimize or prevent alcoholrelated consequences. Policies can involve the implementation of a specific strategy with regard to alcohol problems (e.g., age restrictions on alcohol sales) or the allocation of resources that reflect priorities with regard to prevention or treatment intervention efforts. Among the various strategies and interventions that have been used as a basis for alcohol policy are: taxation and pricing, regulating the physical availability of alcohol, Key wordsBabor TF, Caetano R.

Comparison of individual and group cognitive‐behavioral therapy for alcohol and/or drug‐dependent patients

Abstract: The two modalities presented similar outcomes and, as the group format could present a better cost-benefit ratio, it may be used without decreasing compliance with treatment or treatment effectiveness.
