1 Improving SUD Continuity of Care: Bringing Science to Practice Steven J. Lash, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Science, Salem VAMC & University of Virginia Preparation of this presentation was supported in part by grants from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Health Services Research and Development Service ( & ). The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

2 Clinical Trial of Contracting Prompting and Reinforcing (CPR) Aftercare Attendance. Need for Continuing Care Adherence in SUD (Substance Use Disorder) Treatment CPR is a clinic-friendly approach for promoting SUD Continuing Care Adherence. CPR is a clinic-friendly approach for promoting SUD Continuing Care Adherence. Hypothesized that CPR would produce greater continuing care adherence and treatment outcome than STX.

3. Clinical trial at the Salem VAMC comparing CPR to Standard Treatment (STX). Compare CPR vs. STX on Continuing Care Attendance & Treatment Outcome. Compare CPR vs. STX on Continuing Care Attendance & Treatment Outcome.

4 Why is Adherence to SUD Continuing Care Critical? Most Treatment Programs are 1 month or less followed by a recommendation of outpatient aftercare therapy and AA/NA.. Most Treatment Programs are 1 month or less followed by a recommendation of outpatient aftercare therapy and AA/NA.. Danger Period for Relapse: Two-thirds of relapses occur within the first 3 months of beginning treatment (Marlatt, 1985). Danger Period for Relapse: Two-thirds of relapses occur within the first 3 months of beginning treatment (Marlatt, 1985). Few Patients Follow-Through with continuing care recommendations. Few Patients Follow-Through with continuing care recommendations.

5 VAMC Aftercare Rates Only 54% of VA patients attend 1 or more aftercare sessions (Fortney et al., 1995). Only 54% of VA patients attend 1 or more aftercare sessions (Fortney et al., 1995). Only 20% of VA patients attend 2 or more aftercare sessions in the first month of aftercare (Peterson et al., 1994). Only 20% of VA patients attend 2 or more aftercare sessions in the first month of aftercare (Peterson et al., 1994).

6 Minimum Effective Dose of SUD Treatment? Treatment of less than 3 months is typically ineffective (Ersoff et al., 1996; Simpson et al., 1997 & 1999). Treatment of less than 3 months is typically ineffective (Ersoff et al., 1996; Simpson et al., 1997 & 1999). Treatment is most effective when at least 7 to 12 months are received (Moos et al., 1999; Ritscher et al., 2002). Treatment is most effective when at least 7 to 12 months are received (Moos et al., 1999; Ritscher et al., 2002).

8 What Does AA or NA Add? None1-9 Meetings Number of AA/NA Meetings *source:Moos, Finney, Ouimette, & Suchinsky, Meetings30+AA/NA

9 Cause and Effect? Interventions that increase the duration of treatment typically show improved treatment outcome compared to standard care.

10 Research Questions? Can we increase continuing care adherence using clinic- friendly strategies? Can we increase continuing care adherence using clinic- friendly strategies? Does increased continuing care adherence result in improved treatment outcome? Does increased continuing care adherence result in improved treatment outcome?

11 The CPR Intervention Contracting + Prompting + Reinforcing SUD continuing care attendance Contracting + Prompting + Reinforcing SUD continuing care attendance Goal = Keep patients in treatment for at least 3 months, the minimum amount of time associated with positive treatment outcome. Goal = Keep patients in treatment for at least 3 months, the minimum amount of time associated with positive treatment outcome.
