Method: Seven therapeutic objectives and exercises are described: (1) making the commitment to stop using, (2) planning to stop relapse quickly if it occurs, (3) identifying high-risk situations, (4) mapping and managing high-risk situations, (5) managing personal reactions to high-risk situations, (6) developing a recovery plan and (7) evaluating high-risk situations management skills.
