Summary

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 substance use 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 in residential substance abuse treatment and their providers and social support networks (e.g., family, friends, community members); (PHASE 2) adapt CTI for individuals 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.

Detailed description

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 will complete a baseline interview (prior to randomization) and 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month follow-up assessments post-discharge.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Critical Time Intervention-Residential (CTI-R)	CTI-R is a 9-month, time-limited intervention that aims to produce an enduring impact by effectively linking individuals to both professional services (substance abuse and health and mental health providers) and social supports (e.g., family and friends) and by providing emotional and practical support. Participants in the CTI-R condition will also receive usual discharge services from the residential substance abuse treatment program.
BEHAVIORAL	Enhanced Usual Discharge Services-Residential	The enhanced usual discharge condition encompasses the regular discharge services offered at the residential treatment program plus enhanced transition services.
