Psychosocial and pharmacological treatments versus pharmacological treatments for opioid detoxification
Review of controlled studies finds that offering therapy and incentives alongside drugs which ameliorate withdrawal symptoms increases the numbers who complete detoxification from heroin and allied drugs and who stay opiate free, but still most do not do either.

Monitoring and evaluation of family intervention services and projects between February 2007 and March 2011
Family interventions were at the heart of the UK government’s ambition to ‘turn round’ the lives of 120,000 troubled families in England. In respect of drink and drug problems, substantial remission was seen, but the featured study could not show whether this was due to the interventions, and a report on a successor programme found no significant impacts.
US research led by the programme’s developers has found that a family therapy which intervenes across a child’s social environment is more effective than alternatives for problem substance using teenagers, but this independent Dutch study found one-to-one cognitive-behavioural therapy just as effective, a finding at odds with the five-nation European study of which it formed a part.

Behavioral couples therapy for substance abusers: where do we go from here?
Problem drinkers and drug users in a persisting if distressed relationship with a partner do better when the focus is at least partly shifted from the patient to working with the couple to foster sobriety-encouraging interactions. Benefits for patients and the broader society can be remarkable.
