Substance Abuse Professionals


SLS Health now offers ERP Therapy kits & training to addiction Professionals

ERP is a breakthrough treatment method to help your addicted Clients!

Psychologists, CADCs, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, and Substance Abuse counselors, ERP therapy can help your clients stay in recovery.

Pouring a drink-in order to stop drinking. Rolling a joint-to kick a pot habit. Laying out a few lines of cocaine-to overcome the desire to snort it. These aren't oxymorons or acts of a fool. They are examples of a new form of therapy for chemical addiction called ERP.

Joseph Santoro, PhD, Robert DeLetis, CADC, and Alfred Bergman, MS developed ERP to help their addicted clients extinguish their craving and desire to get "high". Their new book, Kill The Craving describes a self-help version of ERP that clients can use. ERP is new form of treatment that is compatible with 12 step programs, counseling and medication to help clients remain drug and alcohol free.

  • Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy for substance abuse craving can help your clients sustain a successful recovery process
  • ERP is an eclectic treatment that is compatible with 12-step programs
  • Based on sound and well researched behavioral intervention methodologies (references)
  • ERP helps you to extinguish your clients' cravings and recondition their cognitive self-talk
  • ERP Therapy is featured in the new book, Kill The Craving, published by SLS Press (2004) and available through amazon.com
