NIDA-CTN-0044: Web-delivery of Evidence-Based, Psychosocial Treatment for Substance Use Disorders Using the Therapeutic Education System (TES)

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of including an interactive, web-based version of the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), called the Therapeutic Education System (TES), as part of community-based, outpatient substance abuse treatment.

Descripción general del estudio

Descripción detallada

The principal objective of the planned trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of including an interactive, web-based version of the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), called the Therapeutic Education System (TES), as part of community-based, outpatient substance abuse treatment. CRA is a cognitive-behavioral intervention which seeks to give patients skills to achieve and maintain abstinence and improve social functioning and is often paired with contingency management, where patients earn rewards contingent upon drug negative urines. CRA is an intensive treatment, generally delivered in individual sessions 2 to 3 times per week. Thus, it is expensive and time-consuming to deliver, to train clinical staff, and to provide supervision to maintain clinical staff skill. However, because CRA is oriented toward knowledge and skills, it lends itself to being delivered by computer, using computer-interactive learning technologies.

Individuals accepted into community-based outpatient treatment for substance use disorders (excluding those receiving opioid pharmacotherapy for opioid dependence) will be eligible to participate. This is a multi-site, controlled trial, using NIDA's Clinical Trials Network platform, at approximately 10 Community Treatment Programs, in which participants (N = approximately 500) will be randomized to receive 12 weeks of either: (1) Treatment-as-Usual (TAU), reflecting standard treatment at the collaborating treatment programs in which participants are enrolled, or (2) a modification of TAU which includes access to the TES. It is hypothesized that access to TES will improve substance use outcome and retention in outpatient treatment.

Computer interactive interventions like TES have the potential to deliver science-based psychosocial treatments with high fidelity and cost-effectiveness while conserving clinician time to focus on monitoring and addressing patients' needs. If found to be effective, TES could substantially advance the substance abuse treatment system by improving quality of care delivered, increasing availability of treatment slots by extending and leveraging the efforts of clinical staff, and projecting treatment to rural and other underserved areas.

Armas e Intervenciones

Grupo de participantes/brazo
Intervención / Tratamiento
Experimental: Therapeutic Education System (TES)
Participants randomized to this arm will replace approximately 2 hours of Standard Treatment with the Therapeutic Education System (TES) (comprised of a web-based version of the Community Reinforcement Approach and contingency management).
Participants will received modified treatment-as-usual plus the computerized psychosocial intervention (Therapeutic Education System), including contingency management. Participants will be asked to use the self-directed TES intervention twice weekly and will be asked to complete 2 modules during each session (for a total of 4 modules per week) during the 12-week intervention. Participants will receive incentives contingent primarily upon abstinence from drugs of abuse and, secondarily, upon completion of TES modules.
Otros nombres:
  • TES
  • Therapeutic Education System
Otro: Treatment-as-Usual (TAU)
Participants randomized to TAU will receive standard treatment offered and prescribed, as usual, in the outpatient substance abuse treatment program.
Participants in this condition will receive TAU, consisting of standard treatment offered at each collaborating CTP and will reflect the model of treatment typically provided to most individuals in outpatient, community-based substance abuse treatment settings in the U.S. These sessions will consist of a combination of group and individual counseling.

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Reduced Substance Use and Improved Treatment Retention
Periodo de tiempo: 12-week Treatment Phase

Compared to patients assigned to Treatment as Usual (TAU), patients assigned to modified TAU plus the Therapeutic Education System (Modified TAU + TES) will have:

  1. reduced substance use (measured by a combination of self-report confirmed by urine toxicology) and
  2. better retention in treatment at their community-based treatment programs.
12-week Treatment Phase

Medidas de resultado secundarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Effectiveness
Periodo de tiempo: 12-week treatment phase, 3- and 6-months post treatment
To evaluate the relative effectiveness of TAU vs. modified TAU + TES on several secondary outcome measures, including measures of HIV risk behavior, psychosocial functioning (in areas of criminal activity, health status improvement, psychological status, family/social relationships, and employment, and treatment acceptability (based on participant feedback).
12-week treatment phase, 3- and 6-months post treatment
Sustained outcome
Periodo de tiempo: 3- and 6-months post treatment
To evaluate if improved substance use and retention outcomes are maintained 3- and 6-months post-intervention.
3- and 6-months post treatment
Economic Analysis
Periodo de tiempo: 12-week treatment phase, 3- and 6-months post treatment
To perform a comprehensive economic analysis of including TES in TAU to inform decisions regarding adoption of this new therapeutic tool (assessing incremental costs per increased abstinence time and quality adjusted life year). The economic analyses are clinically important, as even if the computerized intervention is shown to be effective, it may not be adopted in community-based treatment programs unless it is shown to be cost-effective due to the considerable financial constraints in such treatment settings.
12-week treatment phase, 3- and 6-months post treatment
Coping Skills
Periodo de tiempo: 12-week treatment phase, 3- and 6-months post treatment
To examine coping skills acquisition as a treatment process factor that may underlie changes observed during treatment.
12-week treatment phase, 3- and 6-months post treatment
