Summary
This research is being done to study whether using an Internet-based program, called the Therapeutic Education System (TES), would be helpful for the treatment of substance use and other psychiatric problems.
Detailed description
TES has been shown to be helpful as substance abuse treatment in certain groups of people, mainly in the outpatient setting by using interactive modules for education. This study will expose some participants to this program while participants are hospitalized on an inpatient unit, and give the participants access to it after participants are discharged from the hospital. Those participants will still receive treatment as usual, as will the control group.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEVICE | Therapeutic Education System (TES) | The TES program is made of modules about ways to prevent substance use, such as how to refuse drugs and alcohol, how to cope with thoughts about using, and how to make the best possible decisions for a person's mental health. Each module takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Modules may contain videos or other interactive media. At the end of each module, there are questions about the material. |
| OTHER | Treatment as Usual (TAU) | Standard treatment comprises a psychiatrist-led interdisciplinary team as well as face-to-face group counseling for substance use and skills for improving general mental health. There will be no change to the routine care (treatment at usual \[TAU\]) provided to patients on the service. |
