[Development of a manualized cognitive behavioral therapy program for Japanese drug addicts and a study of the efficacy of the program].

In the West, various psychological programs have been developed to treat drug dependence. Although some programs have been performed as trials in a few facilities in Japan, there are no psychological treatment programs available in many facilities, and their effects on Japanese drug abusers have not been well studied. We developed a manualized cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for Japanese clients with drug dependence based on a review of the literature.
