KANTORSKI, Luciane Prado; LISBOA, Liliane de Mello  and  SOUZA, Jacqueline de. Prevention group for relapse from alcohol and other drugs. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2005, vol.1, n.1. ISSN 1806-6976.

This article reports on the experience of holding weekly group meetings for the prevention of relapses from alcohol and other psychoactive drugs at a Psychosocial Care Center, which started in November 2002. A cognitive-behavioral approach was adopted as a theoretical reference framework for conducting the meetings, starting from the motivation for treatment, after which an inventory was applied to identify abilities to handle situations with a potential risk of relapse.

Keywords : Alcohol; Psychoactive drugs; Group.
