Abstract
This systematic review identifies, appraises, and summarizes the evidence on the effectiveness of relapse prevention for drug addictions. Nine studies met criteria for inclusion in the review. They were assessed for quality and outcomes including substance use and recovery-related factors. Despite significant methodological limitations found in the included studies, the body of evidence suggests salutary effects on participants. Current limitations and recommendations for future research are discussed.
