Background:

Non-pharmacologic models for chemical dependency treatment are evolving.
Relapse prevention techniques are increasingly integrated into treatment strategies.
Cocaine dependency presents unique challenges requiring structured recovery frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a comprehensive neurobehavioral model for cocaine dependency treatment.
To outline strategies for facilitating positive behavior change and sustained recovery.
To establish a standardized framework for evaluating treatment interventions.

Main Methods:

The neurobehavioral model focuses on four key areas of functioning.
Integrates relapse prevention methods, individual therapy, family systems, and 12-Step involvement.
