Relapse prevention plays an important role in the treatment of alcoholics. Positive predictors are high self-efficacy and confidence in high-risk situations, positive outcome expectancies, sufficient coping-skills and low craving. We examined 64 primary German alcoholics. Each person met the criteria of alcohol dependence of DSM-IV and ICD-10. Subjects were included in an inpatient 4-step relapse prevention program. This manual-guided group psychotherapy is based on cognitive-behavioral approach focused on high-risk situations, phases of relapse, stress/relax and resources. Craving before and after treatment did not differ, so that using this kind of relapse prevention training might be suitable in both in- and out-patient programs. High values for insight, optimism, self-efficacy and confidence in high-risk situations might enhance individual coping-skills to balance patient's lifestyle focussing on an abstinent way of life.
