Results:• N = 1,726 outpatients (n=952) and aftercare (n=774) at 5 sites (one of largest clinical trials
ever)
• 25% were women; 15% were minority group members
• 10 client characteristics studied: severity etoh, sociopathy, cognitive impairment, gender, meaning seeking, motivation, psych severity, etc.
• 90% of the participants were assessed at 1-year follow-up
• pre-post differences in drinking days per month (25 6) and drinks per “drinking” day (15 3)
• each of the 3 treatments worked about equally well in reducing drinking
• TSF outpatients more likely to remain sober (24%) at 1 yr. than outpatients in CBT or MET (about 15%)
• only 1 “matching” prediction supported: outpatients with few or no psychiatric problems had more abstinent days in TSF tx than in CBT
• At 3-yr. follow-up: 36% of TSF clients abstinent vs. 27% MET and 24% CBT clients
• *** strong correlation between abstinence rates and compliance with aftercare (“recovery” is a PROCESS).

Principles of Effective Treatment http://www.nida.nih.gov/PODAT/PODAT1.html
• No single treatment is appropriate for all individuals.
• Treatment needs to be readily available.
• Effective treatment attends to multiple needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use. Clients with coexisting mental disorders should have both disorders treated in an integrated way.
• In order to meet the changing needs of the client, the treatment plan must be continually assessed and modified.

• Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness.
• Counseling (individual, couple, and/or group) and other behavioral therapies are critical components of effective treatment for addiction...
Medical detoxification is only the first stage of addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug use.
• Medications are an important element of treatment for many patients, especially when combined with counseling and other behavioral therapies.

• Treatment does not need to be voluntary to be effective
• Possible drug use during treatment must be monitored continuously.
• Treatment programs should provide assessment and counseling for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases to help patients modify or change behaviors that place themselves or others at risk of infection.
• Recovery from drug addiction can be a long-term process and frequently requires multiple episodes of treatment.
