Abstract: Psychologic approaches continue to represent the mainstay of treatment for most types of substance abuse problems. As evident in this review of empiric studies published in the past 12 months, the most effective treatments include approaches based on behavioral and cognitive-behavioral theoretical models. Client-to-treatment matching hypotheses have received mixed support. The influence of treatment delivery variables is covered in this review.
