Filter by:This study is exploring the use of an intervention designed to treat PTSD in individuals with comorbid PTSD and substance abuse resulting from the attacks of September 11 or from military service in Iraq. A cognitive behavioral treatment protocol will be used to treat PTSD. The exposure component of the protocol will be enhanced with the use of virtual reality in which the client will view a virtual environment while describing their trauma.
This placebo-controlled trial will test the effectiveness of Seroquel XR™ for the treatment of cocaine dependence in non-psychotic individuals who are cocaine dependent.
This placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized pilot clinical trial will evaluate atomoxetine (Strattera®) for the treatment of cocaine dependence. Cocaine-dependent individuals, who are healthy and are seeking treatment for their substance abuse, will be randomized to receive either atomoxetine (n=25) or a matched-placebo (n=25) during a trial lasting 12 weeks; there will be a double-blind, ascending dose lead-in order to achieve maintenance on the assigned active dose safely. Contingency management procedures will be used to reinforce attendance and compliance with study procedures. Primary outcome measures will include urinalysis data assessing cocaine use.
Our primary goal is to conduct a pilot study of the effects of a new potential strategy for youth substance abuse prevention - science-based drug education integrated into the high school science curriculum. Through this pilot study we propose to: (1) demonstrate that this new strategy shows promise, and (2) estimate the effect size for the intervention.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether interpersonal psychotherapy is effective for treating co-occurring depression and substance use among women prisoners.
The proposed project will apply a unique, effective family-responsive psychoeducation program, PsychoEducation Responsive to Families (PERF), for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) treatment. The goal is to demonstrate that the intervention will enlarge the eligibility of some patients for HCV treatment and help sustain others through it.
The purpose of this study is to develop, refine, and pilot test an augmenting cognitive behavior relapse prevention intervention (CBT-RP) for suicidal, depressed, and alcohol/substance abusing adolescents. No hypotheses are being tested, but it is expected that CBT-RP in addition to treatment as usual will result in improved outcomes relative to treatment as usual alone.
This is a randomized controlled trial to test whether a money-management based intervention reduces substance abuse.
Studies demonstrate that methamphetamine (meth) use is associated with high-risk sexual behavior among MSM, putting meth-using MSM at extraordinarily high risk for transmitting or acquiring HIV. This study of intermediate size (60 participants) and length (3 months of follow-up) will assess the efficacy of mirtazapine in reducing methamphetamine use among high-risk MSM.
Studies demonstrate that methamphetamine (meth) use is associated with high-risk sexual behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM), putting meth-using MSM at extraordinarily high risk for transmitting or acquiring HIV. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of the medication aripiprazole for methamphetamine-using individuals, including MSM, and will assess efficacy, acceptability, tolerability, safety, and adherence to study medication.
