Stress, Distress Intolerance, and Drug Dependence
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Individual Counseling for Substance Dependence. Completed, enrolled 133 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to evaluate the relative efficacy of a novel treatment (CBT-IC) versus a standard individual drug-counseling treatment. The novel treatment emphasizes exposure to emotional cues for drug use as part of a comprehensive, yet brief, treatment strategy. These treatments are delivered to opiate-dependent, often poly-substance dependent, individuals in a comprehensive methadone maintenance program who have failed to respond adequately to current treatments.
