Adopting 12-step philosophy may enhance outcomes of counseling for cocaine addiction

ing the 12-step philosophy. A possible explanation, the scientists suggest, is that beliefs about substance abuse change in response to changes in drug use.

WHAT IT MEANS: Although the 12-step philosophy and associated behaviors are linked with the positive effects seen with group and individual counseling for cocaine addiction, the inability to show a sequential process--first adopting the 12-step philosophy and then undergoing counseling--means the mechanism that drives these affirming results remains unknown. The authors also say that changing beliefs about addiction may play an important part in successful treatment.

The NIDA-funded study was published in the October 2003 issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
