Abstract

The aim of the present study was to analyze the results of a cognitive-behavioral group therapy applied in an outpatient unit to treat drug addiction. The sample consisted of 130 males with an alcohol dependence disorder. Around 56% of the sample completed treatment – they were given therapeutic discharge. From those, 75.3% never resumed treatment, increasing to 77.7% when patients completed the check-up period after discharge. Follow-up from therapeutic discharge varies from 2 to 18 years; 58% of patients with personality disorders completed treatment with therapeutic discharge. Cognitive-behavioral treatment, whose essential components are detailed in the present study, is effective for the group treatment of patients with alcohol dependence and a comorbid personality disorder.
