Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients in the TM condition will receive an in-person session while in the inpatient psychiatry program, followed by monitoring delivered over the telephone for three months after discharge. The TM intervention will have a motivational interviewing component to address patients' motivation to obtain help for and reduce their substance abuse. The purpose of the intervention condition is to monitor patients' substance use, facilitate patients' entry into outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, and encourage ongoing 12-step selfhelp group participation to support sobriety.
All patients in the trial will receive usual care (i.e., the care they would have received in the absence of a study).
