Supportive-Expressive Psychotherapy

Supportive-Expressive Psychotherapy is a time-limited, focused psychotherapy that has been adapted for heroin- and cocaine-addicted individuals. The therapy has two main components:

Supportive techniques to help patients feel comfortable in discussing their personal experiences.

Expressive techniques to help patients identify and work through interpersonal relationship issues.

Special attention is paid to the role of drugs in relation to problem feelings and behaviors, and how problems may be solved without recourse to drugs.

Detailed addiction treatment San Francisco manuals contain work sheets for individual sessions; other components include family addiction treatment San Francisco groups, early recovery skills groups, relapse prevention groups, conjoint sessions, urine tests, 12-step California drug rehab, relapse analysis, and social support groups.
