This chapter describes session 5 of the COPE therapy. The therapist’s instructions for how to provide and process imaginal exposure are reviewed in this chapter. Then, the therapist will be guided on how to help the patient generate a personal emergency coping plan for high-risk situations that may increase risk for using alcohol or drugs. The difference between a lapse (e.g. a slip) and a relapse is reviewed for the therapist.

In Session 1, the patient learns about the overall treatment program and the procedures that will be used, including both imaginal exposure (reliving the trauma in imagination) and in vivo exposure (reexperiencing the trauma situation in real life). The patient will complete the Trauma Interview with the therapist and learn breathing retraining. Finally, the patient will be taught about how session recordings will be used and will learn about homework expectations.

Objective: The impact of a comprehensive HIV education, housing support, and 12-step recovery program in a day treatment program for homeless persons infected with HIV was studied. Method: Participants' knowledge of HIV and substance abuse risk factors was assessed for a group of new clients and for a group of clients enrolled for 3 months using an author-developed questionnaire. Continuation of high-risk sexual and substance use behaviors was assessed using the approach. Success in maintaining housing and 12-step recovery was assessed using a retrospective chart review on a separate group of past participants. Results: Statistically significant positive changes in participants' knowledge of HIV and substance use and a decrease in self-reported high-risk behaviors were found. The retrospective chart review also indicated positive changes in housing stability and substance abuse recovery. Conclusions: Preliminary results support the conclusion that the day treatment program had positive effects on the three variables of concern.
