Relapse Prevention (RP) is the central and most original focus in the treatment of addictions. Several studies support the effectiveness of group therapy in RP.
To compare group psychotherapy for RP with standard follow-up of alcohol-abuse/ dependence patients.
Fourteen patients were assigned to the relapse prevention group and another ten patients received the standard outpatient monitoring. Numbers of relapses during the group therapy and one year later were recorded.
We found statistically significant differences (CHI(2)=7.95) p=0.019 between the two groups for rates of abstinence and relapse at the twelve-month follow-up.
Group Therapy for Relapse Prevention is effective, easy to apply in the outpatient context and obtains better rates of abstinence than standard outpatient treatment at the one-year follow-up.
预防复发（RP）是成瘾治疗的核心且最原始的关注点。多项研究支持团体治疗在预防复发方面的有效性。
比较针对预防复发的团体心理治疗与酒精滥用/依赖患者的标准随访。
14名患者被分配到预防复发组，另外10名患者接受标准门诊监测。记录团体治疗期间及一年后的复发次数。
在十二个月的随访中，两组在戒酒率和复发率方面存在统计学上的显著差异（CHI(2)=7.95），p=0.019。
预防复发团体治疗有效，易于在门诊环境中应用，并且在一年随访时比标准门诊治疗有更高的戒酒率。
