This article presents a clinical case of a 50-year-old man with a cocaine addiction, treated with brief psychotherapy. Therapeutic intervention focused on exploring and enhancing the patient’s resources, including personal passions, family bonding, and past successful experiences in overcoming other addictions. The treatment led to the cessation of cocaine use and a general improvement in psychological well-being, demonstrating the importance of individual resources in the recovery process.
