Brief Summary:
This project will help counselors in substance abuse treatment programs make effective referrals of dually diagnosed patients those with a co-occurring psychiatric disorder to self-help groups
Detailed Description:
Background
Dual diagnosis psychiatric and substance use patients DDPs participation in 12-step mutual-help groups is linked to lower relapse and treatment utilization rates However under usual referral many DDPs do not attend or sustain attendance of substance-focused groups SFG DDPs may benefit from dual-focused groups DFGs
Objectives
1 Implement and validate procedures to help counselors make effective referrals to DFGs DDPs were assigned to a standard- or intensive-referral to DFG condition to determine the extent to which intensive referral compared to standard referral increased patients mutual-help group participation 2 Determine whether DDPs who received intensive referral had better substance use and psychiatric outcomes
Methods
DDPs entering VA outpatient mental health treatment received either standard N145 or intensive N142 referral Standard referral consisted essentially of the counselor recommending DFG participation The keys to intensive referral were a DFG orientation and the counselor facilitating direct contact between the patient and a DFG member and following up on recommendations for mutual help Patients were followed at six months 80 one year 81 and two years 80 to determine whether intensive referral resulted in more DFG and SFG participation and better substance use and psychiatric outcomes
