Treatment for Psychological and Drug Abuse Problems

19 september 2013 uppdaterad av: Michael Kidorf, Johns Hopkins University

Maximizing Effectiveness of Integrated Treatment Approaches

The purpose of the study is to evaluate methods to help people in substance abuse treatment receive better psychiatric care. Patients enrolled in the study will be offered three months of standard psychiatric treatment, which consists of weekly individual counseling and group counseling, as well as regular appointments with a psychiatrist. Patients will be randomly assigned to standard psychiatric care or standard psychiatric care plus voucher incentives. These incentives can be earned by successfully attending all scheduled psychiatric appointments each week. The investigators expect that patients in the voucher condition will attend more psychiatric sessions, which will lead to greater reductions in psychiatric distress.

Detaljerad beskrivning

Male and female opioid-dependent patients at Addiction Treatment Services with any current psychiatric disorder (N = 100) will be randomly assigned to one of two psychiatric service conditions: 1) reinforced on-site integrated care (ROIC), with voucher incentives contingent on attending weekly psychiatric sessions; or 2) standard on-site integrated care (SOIC). Participants in both conditions will receive access to the same schedule and range of psychiatric and substance abuse treatment services. Participants will be assessed for 3-months post-randomization to determine rates of service utilization and adherence to psychiatric care, changes in scope and severity of psychiatric and psychosocial problems, and rates of drug use and treatment retention. Positive findings would have considerable heuristic and health care policy and practice implications. The entire study, including dissemination of the major findings at a national meeting and submission of the first manuscript, is designed to be completed within 2-years.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Reinforced On-Site Integrated Care (ROIC)
Patients assigned to this condition will be treated at ATS for psychological problems. They will be scheduled to participate in individual therapy sessions with a psychiatrist and with their substance abuse counselor. They will also be referred to attend group therapy one time per week. In addition, they will be able to earn a voucher incentive for each week of psychiatric compliance.
Beteende: Voucher Reinforcement
Patients in this condition will be able to earn a voucher for each week that they have attended all scheduled psychiatric sessions. These sessions may include individual therapy appointments, group therapy appointments, or psychiatrist appointments. Each voucher will be worth $25, and can be exchanged for goods and services that will be purchased by a research assistant. The maximum amount of voucher earnings over the study is $300.
Aktiv komparator: Standard On-Site Integrated Care (SOIC).
Patients assigned to this condition will be treated at ATS for psychological problems. They will be scheduled to participate in individual therapy sessions with a psychiatrist and with their substance abuse counselor. They will also be referred to attend group therapy one time per week.
Beteende: Standard Control
Patients assigned to this condition will be treated at ATS for psychological problems. They will be scheduled to participate in individual therapy sessions with a psychiatrist and with their substance abuse counselor. They will also be referred to attend group therapy one time per week. No voucher incentive will be offered in this condition.
