<p>Dear Editor,</p><p>Like the other article we submitted the basis for this article was previously published in English by the lead authors: <em>Allen, D. N., Donohue, B., Sutton, G., Haderlie, M., &amp; LaPota, H. (2009). Application of a standardized assessment methodology within the context of an evidence-based treatment for substance abuse and its associated problems. Behavior Modification, 33(5), 618-654.</em> The present article is a translation and summary of the content. We think that publishing them together gives a better understanding of the general treatment. Thank you for your consideration.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Davor </p>
