Intervention for Persons With Co-Occurring Disorders Leaving Residential Tx

This research uses a multi-phase approach to adapt and implement an established
intervention, Critical Time Intervention, for a new population and setting among individuals
with co-occurring substance use and mental health problems who are at risk of relapse
following residential substance abuse treatment. The goals of the study are to: (PHASE 1)
identify challenges and strategies of community reentry among individuals with co-occurring
problems in residential substance abuse treatment and their providers and social support
networks (e.g., family, friends, community members); (PHASE 2) adapt CTI for individuals
with co-occurring disorders in residential substance abuse treatment to prepare them for
discharge and transition back into the community; and (PHASE 3) conduct a pilot study to
examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes of the adapted CTI compared
to enhanced usual discharge planning services.

This randomized pilot study will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary
outcomes of the adapted CTI compared to enhanced usual discharge planning services. More
specifically, 60 participants will be randomized to either CTI (n=30) or enhanced usual
discharge planning services (n=30) at the time of discharge. Participants in the CTI group
will receive pre-discharge preparation and planning services, as usual, in addition to 9
months of assertive outreach and support following discharge. Participants in the enhanced
usual discharge services group will receive pre-discharge preparation and planning services
and three telephone recovery check-up calls following discharge. Participants will complete
a baseline interview (prior to randomization) and 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up assessments
post-discharge. All participants will be invited to participate in gender and
program-specific focus groups to explore barriers and facilitators to transition and the
support received. This means that separate focus groups will be conducted for the CTI and
enhanced usual discharge groups and for women and men. The investigators expect to conduct
four focus groups: one for women in CTI, one for women in usual discharge services, one for
men in CTI, and one for men in enhanced usual discharge services.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Eligible participants will be enrolled in residential substance abuse treatment and
who are at least 18 years of age, speak English, and expect to be discharged within 3
months.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Individuals that do not meet the aforementioned inclusion criteria will be excluded
from the study.More specifically, the following categories will be excluded:

1. Anyone under the age of 18

2. Non-English speaking individuals due to limited resources

3. Individuals who are considered vulnerable/protected populations, including
children, pregnant women, and prisoners.

4. Individuals judged by clinical treatment staff to be in immediate crisis, i.e.,
suicide watch or inadequate decisional capacity to participate in the study.
