Structured Relapse Prevention: An Outpatient Counselling Approach 2nd Edition

In the substance use treatment field, it is recognized that strategies used to initiate change are different from those used to maintain change. With the goal of helping clients effectively maintain change in their substance use behaviours, we have revised and expanded CAMH’s successful Structured Relapse Prevention: An Outpatient Counselling Approach.

Structured Relapse Prevention (SRP) is a brief, cognitive-behavioural, manual-based counselling approach that is used in a variety of settings. SRP is designed for people with moderate to severe substance dependence, and is typically delivered in eight to 12 group or individual counselling sessions.

Structured Relapse Prevention presents all the materials you need to offer SRP counselling, in an easy-to-follow, user-friendly style. This second edition includes:

• a new section presenting an extensive treatment protocol and tools for treating clients with concurrent substance use and mental health issues
• new and revised clinical tools to offer SRP in both group and individual formats
• sections on assessment, motivational enhancement and individualized treatment planning, to help prepare clients for treatment
• screening and assessment tools, homework assignments and therapist checklists, to engage and motivate clients who are ambivalent about changing their substance use
• sections on initiating and maintaining change, accompanied by a comprehensive selection of coping skills exercises that can be assigned as homework or discussed during treatment sessions
• a cd-rom, from which all the client tools and exercises can be accessed and printed.
