addicted patients go through two weeks of detox to get through withdrawal symptoms and become
medically stabilized. Following detox, the most severely addicted patients are provided cognitive
psychotherapy. Other patients are provided cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, and a small few are
not given any psychotherapy. The patients are monitored for their first relapse time back to their use
of heroin. Patients receiving no psychotherapy had an average relapse time of 8 days. Patients
receiving cognitive psychotherapy had an average relapse time of 18 days, and patients receiving
cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy had an average relapse time of 42 days. The doctors conclude
that cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy offers the best treatment approach to treating patients with
heroin addictions. Note: Cognitive psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy are two
different types of therapy.
