Study Description

Brief Summary

Two approaches for providing evidence-based substance abuse treatment (EBT), group motivational interviewing (GMI) and the In-Home-Messaging-Device (IHMD), are interventions that have the characteristic ability for increasing accessibility to evidence-based treatment among patients with substance use problems and are proposed for investigation. GMI is based on motivational interviewing, an intervention that has shown consistent significant effects in promoting treatment retention and reduced substance use among individuals with substance use disorders, and is delivered in a group format. IHMD is a user-friendly computerized Tele-mental Health communication tool that allows interaction through the telephone line between a Veteran and the health care provider in an individual's home or residential placement. The current proposal aims to determine whether GMI and IHMD lead to a significantly greater increase in treatment engagement and reduction in alcohol use compared to a treatment control condition (TCC) among Veterans with a substance use problem and a co-existing psychiatric disorder.

Detailed Description

Dually diagnosed Veterans (N = 178) will be recruited from the Charleston, SC VAMC Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment Center (SATC) and block randomized to TAU, GMI, or IHMD. Patients with alcohol dependence or abuse (including drug abuse) and a nonsubstance-related major Axis I disorder (e.g., bipolar disorder, depression, psychotic disorder) will be eligible for the study. Participants, who were referred to the study at time of triage or during the orientation phase of SATC, will be evaluated at baseline and approximately at a 1 and 3-month follow-up. Primary outcome measures will be alcohol use and treatment utilization as measured by number of days of alcohol use, number of binge alcohol drinking days, and quantity of alcohol consumed (in standard drinks, or SECs), and treatment attendance sessions based on objective CPRS patient medical records (i.e., number of all substance abuse outpatient, other mental health [e.g., PTSD, depression], and other substance abuse treatment sessions), and self-reported 12-step (number of self-help AA/NA) sessions, including days consulting with a 12-step or mutual self-help sponsor. Exploratory outcomes measures include number of illicit drug use days (e.g., cocaine, crack, marijuana, opiates, and sedatives).

Primary questions:
  1. Does GMI lead to a significantly greater reduction in alcohol use and an increase in treatment engagement outcomes in the 3-month follow-up period compared to participants assigned to TCC?

Hypothesis: Participants who receive GMI will consume less alcohol and will be engaged in and attend more continuous treatment than participants in TCC in the 3-month follow-up period.

  1. Does IHMD lead to a significantly greater reduction in alcohol use and an increase in treatment engagement outcomes in the 3-month follow-up period compared to participants assigned to TCC?

Hypothesis: Participants who receive IHMD will consume less alcohol and will be engaged in and attend more continuous treatment than participants in TCC in the 3-month follow-up period.

Exploratory question:

Compared to TCC, will GMI and IHMD lead to significantly fewer days of illicit drug use by 3-month follow-up?

Hypothesis: Compared to TCC, GMI and IHMD will result in a significant reduction in days of illicit drug use by 3-month follow-up.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Arm 1 GMI

Patients randomized to GMI received four structured 75-minute sessions consistent with the central principles and style of motivational interviewing (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). The goal of MI is to develop a sense of discrepancy between personal goals and current behavior and enhance change talk among participants, particularly for taking responsibility of one's substance use and being proactive for remaining in treatment.

Behavioral: Arm 1 GMI
Participants randomized to GMI received four structured, back-to-back, 75-minute sessions in one week consistent with the central principles and spirit of MI (Miller & Rollnick 2013) and based on a manualized protocol (Martino & Santa Ana 2013; Santa Ana & Martino, 2009). Designed for dually diagnosed patients, a focus of the intervention is to examine the relationship between the substance use and the co-existing psychiatric disorder(s) and the importance of proactively treating both conditions.

Behavioral: Arm 3 TCC
TCC consisted of a 4-session psychoeducational group (75 minutes per session). Material was delivered using a power point presentation on topics

Experimental: Arm 2 IHMD

Participants randomized to In-Home-Messaging Devices (IHMD) received a 27-day Care Coordination Home Telehealth (CCHT) program targeting their acute recovery from alcohol and other substance use disorder. Participants received their IHMD device through the Charleston VAMC CCHT program, including device accessories and a phone number to reach their CCHT provider. They were provided with specific instructions on how to set up their IHMD in their residence after discharge. The research associate followed-up with the patient one day after receiving the device to ensure that the device was successfully set up and to provide assistance as necessary. Participants received standard VA CCHT services.

Behavioral: Arm 2 IHMD
Participants randomized to IHMD received a 27 day VA Care Coordination Home Telehealth (CCHT) program targeting acute recovery from alcohol and other drug disorders. IHMD consisted of daily assessment combined with dialogues consisting of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and 12-step (mutual self-help) facilitation.

Behavioral: Arm 3 TCC
TCC consisted of a 4-session psychoeducational group (75 minutes per session). Material was delivered using a power point presentation on topics

Active Comparator: Arm 3 TCC

Participants randomized to the Treatment Control Condition (TCC) received a psycho-educational group (e.g., addiction as a chronic disease, relapse prevention, developing a plan to prevent relapse) that was delivered with the aid of sequential standardized PowerPoint presentations. Group members were encouraged to ask questions and make comments. Therapists were encouraged to conduct the sessions using an instructional quality that minimized the use of GMI strategies. TCC consisted of four sessions, lasting 75 minutes, and was conducted on four consecutive days within the course of one week.
