Impact of Interventions to Reduce Violence and Substance Abuse Among VA Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MI-CBT, MI-CBT+CC, and 1 other intervention for Aggression and Substance-Related Disorders. Completed, enrolled 180 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact on both clinical (violence and substance use) outcomes and health services use (substance use disorder and mental health treatment) compared to standard SUD treatment (enhanced treatment as usual) of 1. an integrated Motivational Interviewing-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MI-CBT) violence prevention treatment intervention delivered during the 8-week early substance use disorder treatment phase; and 2. MI-CBT plus a continuing care (CC) intervention for the 3-month continuing care period following the early treatment phase MI-CBT+CC). The study will provide important new information regarding the role and relative impact of both early treatment and continuing care interventions designed to impact substance use and violence, and whether combining such interventions yields additional benefits.
