Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Dual Focus Schema Therapy in comparison to Individual Drug Counseling as 6-month manualized individual behavioral therapy enhancements to the orientationearly treatment process of Therapeutic Community TC residents
Detailed Description:
Therapeutic Community TC treatment can be effective psychosocial modality for addiction but premature dropout remains a major problem Personality disorders are very common in residential programs and TCs regard personality disturbance as core to all people with addiction Severe personality dysfunction is associated with higher dropout rates from TCs and adding cognitive-behavioral treatments may improve retention and outcome We hypothesize that severe personality disturbance causes significant problems with an individuals initial adjustment and effective utilization of TC processes and techniques We predict that a behavioral therapy that targets personality pathology will result in better early retention and engagement than will a more standard addiction counseling approach
To begin to improve retention TC research must begin to systematically evaluate the impact of adding interventions targeted at decreasing premature dropouts through controlled clinical trials We have developed the first empirically tested treatment manual for the full range of personality disorders in substance abusers and propose to conduct a randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of Dual Focus Schema Therapy in comparison to Individual Drug Counseling as 6-month manualized individual behavioral therapy enhancements to the orientationearly treatment process of 100 TC residents In addition to evaluating retention differences we will analyze the rate and degree of change for these two conditions monthly and at 6 12 18 and 24-month follow-up for psychological indicators related to personality disorder and therapeutic processes related to the TC
