Abstract
At the end of the 1960s an attempt was made in the Federal Republic of Germany to establish treatment programs for the increasing number of people dependent on illicit drugs. The major goal was the development of residential drug-free programs. In addition to a variety of other approaches, a research group at the Max-Planck Institute for Psychiatry developed and implemented a treatment program based on behavior therapy (Bühringer & De Jong, 1980; Bühringer et al., 1978). Information is available concerning program implementation, effectiveness (De Jong & Henrich, 1978) and follow-up results to 8 years after treatment (De Jong & Henrich, 1978, 1980; Klett, Hanel, & Bühringer, 1984). Until the beginning of the 1980s, residential long-term therapy was judged by the majority of those working in the field as the only treatment that promised success. Only recently has outpatient treatment received some acceptance in Germany.
