“…As per statements in AWARE questionnaire, feeling of depression is a warning sign for relapse and behavior therapy as adaptive skills training was used in the intervention program for the same. In another study, Dodge (1991) reviewed relaxation training as a nursing intervention for substance abusers, a multi substance abuser were used to demonstrate the clinical status of drug dependence, and how relaxation techniques can be used in treatment was observed. Final recommendation was drawn from the literature and case studies, and observed a significant effect of relaxation training on multiple substance dependents (Vincent, 1991) 27 .…”

Relapse poses a fundamental barrier to the treatment of substance dependence. Preventing relapse is therefore a prerequisite for any attempt to facilitate successful and long-term behavioral changes in substance dependents. Relapse can be caused by biological, psychological and socio-cultural reasons hence this study was aimed to develop and implement a bio-psycho-social intervention program for relapse prevention. 100 male subjects having multiple substance dependence from 16 to 60 years of age were selected through purposive sampling. Subjects were assessed on ‘Advance warning of relapse questionnaire’ followed by a follow up study through telephonic interview for six months. Two null hypotheses were formulated to see the effect of intervention on relapse prevention. Between two groups research design was used for the study with 50 subjects in each group. Data was analyzed by using t and 2x2 contingency χ2 tests. For first hypothesis was significant at 0.01 level and concluded that intervention program reduced advance warning signs of relapse. For second hypothesis 74% experimental group subjects were abstinent till six months after intervention as compared to 22% of control group. It was concluded that bio-psycho-social intervention program is significantly effective in relapse prevention among males with substance dependence.

“…Deep abdominal breathing is a relaxation technique commonly used in yoga that helps to calm the central nervous system. These and other techniques, such as guided imagery and biofeedback, are aimed at reducing arousal and gaining control over somatic experiences (Dodge, 1991). Relaxation is often cited as the end result of meditation, and the two are closely intertwined.…”

The practice of yoga and the use of its components (relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness) can be useful adjuncts in substance abuse treatment. As a primary treatment of substance abuse, yoga and its components achieve low success to mixed results. In contrast, these approaches have been applied more successfully to comorbid conditions, especially depression with low to moderate success and to a lesser extent, anxiety. The practice of yoga may be especially effective in the management of chronic pain for individuals who abuse alcohol or opiates because it focuses on psychological and physical characteristics. Yoga has demonstrated moderate success in treating chronic pain as it provides an alternative coping strategy for these individuals. It is important to note that these conclusions are based on limited data with a need for more controlled research.

“…More substantial evidence for the potential of brainmachines may be derived from medical and psychological research concerning phototherapy, relaxation techniques (musical, subliminal, or hypnotic), and bioand neurofeedback methods (cf. Brockopp, 1984;Brown, 1977;Dodge, 1991;McCraty et al, 1996;Morse, 1993). Results of these and other studies legitimize the assumption that brainmachine sessions may actually have a stress-reducing effect.…”
