Structured Relapse Prevention
An Outpatient Counselling Approach
Helen Annis, Marilyn A. Herie and Lyn Watkin-Merek
Structured Relapse Prevention (SRP) was designed to tackle a tough issue
-- the chronic and relapsing nature of substance use problems. SRP is a research-based,
clinically tested outpatient program that uses a cognitive-behavioural approach to
help people with moderate to severe problems gain more control over their alcohol
and drug use.
Extensive field testing showed SRP to be highly effective for a wide range of
clients, including adults and youth, men and women, aboriginal people and those with
dual diagnoses.
The SRP approach is designed to be used over the course of eight to 12 sessions,
and its flexibility makes it ideal for either individual or group counselling.
The SRP manual contains all the information you'll need to take your clients through
assessment, motivational interviewing, individualized treatment planning, initiation
of change counselling, and maintenance of change counselling.
Included are sample paper-and-pencil versions of assessment instruments and clinical
background articles that will help you address some of the challenges your clients
will face along the way. Self-monitoring forms enable clients to record weekly homework
assignments and document weekly goal setting. They can record urges and temptations,
level of confidence, details of any lapses or relapses and perform a variety of coping
skills exercises.

Curtis Breslin, Kathy Sdao-Jarvie, Elsbeth Tupker and Shelly Pearlman
Most young people tend to drop out early from extended outpatient treatment for

to strengthen clients' motivation and commitment to change, this outpatient program

Methadone Maintenance:
A Counsellor's Guide to Treatment
Forthcoming
Methadone Maintenance: A Counsellor's Guide to Treatment outlines and describes
information, concepts and strategies that distinguish methadone maintenance treatment
(MMT) as an area of specialization within substance use counselling.
This guide discusses the historical development of MMT and the role of counselling
within this treatment approach, summarizes the advantages and limitations of MMT,
orients the reader to best practices in MMT counselling and describes the effects,
side-effects and myths of methadone. It will be an invaluable resource for counsellors
who have a background in substance use counselling but are relatively new to counselling
clients in MMT. The discussion of concepts and practices in this guide will help
experienced MMT counsellors consolidate their own thinking, or, alternatively, will
challenge them to rethink some of their assumptions about counselling MMT clients.
Examples of case studies illustrate the details of clinical practice.
