Contracts, Prompts, and Reinforcement of Substance Use Disorder Continuing Care (CPR)

Contracts, Prompts, and Reinforcement of Substance Use Disorder Continuing Care (CPR) is an aftercare intervention for adults that begins in the final week of residential substance abuse treatment. CPR aims to help clients after discharge to participate in aftercare treatment (individual and group therapy) and self-help support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), maintain alcohol and drug abstinence, and reduce the problems they have experienced as a result of their substance use. Based on a cognitive-behavioral model, CPR uses aftercare contracts, written and telephone reminder prompts, and a series of social reinforcers, such as letters, certificates, and medallions. Although the intervention is not gender specific and has been used in multiple settings, the study reviewed in this summary was conducted with predominantly male clients in a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical center.
