Abstract
Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) is an evidence-based family treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse. The results of multiple studies conducted during the last 3 decades indicate that participation in BCT by married or cohabiting substance-abusing patients, compared to more traditional individual-based interventions, results in greater reductions in substance use, higher levels of relationship satisfaction, greater reductions in partner violence, and more favorable cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness. This review examines the rationale for using BCT, the empirical literature supporting its use, methods used as part of this intervention, and future research directions.
