"Psychosocial treatment for substance use disorders is a broad \"umbrella\" term that brings\nunder its folds a diverse array of non-pharmacological interventions for effective and\nglobal management of drug abuse. The common thread underlying these interventions is\nthat they do not involve prescribing medicines in any form. This does not mean, however,\nthat psychosocial treatment has any conflict with pharmacological treatment. Quite on the\ncontrary, it has been documented that each modality of treatment helps the other.\nSpecifically, psychosocial interventions can enhance pharmacological treatment efficacy\nby increasing medication compliance, retention in treatment, and acquisition of skills that\nreinforce the effects of medications.\nOther than this short-term goal of strengthening pharmacological efficacy, psychosocial\ntreatment serves the even more important long-term goal of abstinence maintenance.\nGetting detoxified from an abused drug is relatively much easier than staying away from\nthe drug in the long run, as evidenced by the world-wide high rate of relapse of treated\ndrug addicts. Psychosocial treatment aims to overcome, or approximate, this difficult\nchallenge. Staying drug free for a long period of time may be practically impossible for a\nsubstance abuser living a particular life style, often in a drug-using \"sub-culture\", where\nthe primary preoccupation’s and themes of living revolve around drugs. Thus, long-term\nabstinence also necessarily implies, ultimately, a change of life style and adoption of a\nmore productive life style. Accordingly, it follows that these are also the ultimate goals of\npsychosocial treatment for substance use disorders."^^ . "2005-01" . . "1" . "1" . .
