Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a Computer-based Training for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT4CBT) to treatment as usual in outpatients seeking treatment for substance use disorder.

Fifty-two adult outpatients seeking treatment for substance use disorder from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Addictions Program will be randomized to receive either a computer-based training for cognitive behavioural therapy or treatment as usual for eight weeks. Participants will complete interviews, questionnaires, and other assessments (urine toxicology and physiological assessments) at week 0, at week 8, and at 6 month follow-up).
