Sponsor: Universiti Sains Malaysia
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a culturally adapted Relapse Prevention Module (RPM-08) can reduce relapse risk in people with substance use disorders in Pakistan. The study also examines whether the adapted intervention is effective over time. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the adapted RPM-08 reduce relapse risk compared to usual treatment? Are the effects of the intervention maintained after a follow-up period? Researchers compared participants who received the adapted RPM-08 along with usual treatment to those who received usual treatment only to see if the intervention improves relapse outcomes. Participants will: Attend eight structured group sessions over eight weeks Receive usual treatment provided by the rehabilitation center Complete questionnaires at baseline, after the intervention, and at follow-up

Interventions
Adapted Relapse Prevention Module (RPM-08)
The adapted Relapse Prevention Module (RPM-08) is a structured cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to reduce relapse risk among individuals with substance use disorders. It is based on relapse prevention principles and the stages of change model, focusing on identifying high-risk situations, recognizing early warning signs, and developing coping strategies. The intervention was culturally adapted for the Pakistani context and delivered in a group format. It consisted of eight structured sessions conducted over eight weeks. The sessions included psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation, coping skills training, and relapse prevention planning. Cultural adaptations incorporated locally relevant examples, family-oriented perspectives, and context-specific coping strategies to enhance engagement and applicability.
