couple therapy for substance abuse  

Definición

  • As is widely acknowledged in the scientific and popular press, alcoholism and drug abuse are among the most deleterious and corrosive problems facing society; by virtually any standard, the personal, familial, community, social, and economic costs are staggering. Approaches to address alcoholism and drug addiction have ranged from broad societal interventions (e.g., Prohibition, the War on Drugs) to narrowly focused biomedical treatments (e.g., use of Antabuse, which causes individuals to become ill when they consume alcohol); yet the backbone of this effort has been and remains psychosocial treatment.
