We used a secondary data analysis, attended by 39 dependents of cocaine and / or crack, men and women with the tools: interview protocol, WAIS-III, MMSE, DASE, TUD and EPM. There was an increase in self-efficacy and decrease the temptation after intervention with the TTM, and found that the more self-efficacy and less temptation plus autodeliberação behavioral processes were used, counter-conditioning and aid relationships. Therefore, intervention with TTM brought expected effects that provide change in the use of cocaine / crack combined with higher self-efficacy and less temptation.
